At Little Hadham Primary School, we take online safety very seriously and encourage all pupils to use ICT and the internet in a safe and responsible manner.
In school, all filters and restrictions are set to the necessary level and pupils are closely monitored at all times while accessing ICT. Online safety is covered as appropriate as part of our curriculum.
