Online Safety

At Mary Mags, we consider online safety education an essential foundation to digital literacy and living in the modern world. For more information about how we employ E-Safety within our school, please download our E-Safety policy here.

We have created a mascot, Webster, who helps to promote everything we do regarding online safety with children and parents at our school:
