Orchid Vale Primary School

At our school we want pupils to be masters of technology. Technology all around us in our day to day lives and because of this, we want to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, responsibly and safely.

We recognise that the best prevention for many of the issues that we currently see with technology/social media, is through education.

The Education for a Connected World framework describes the Digital knowledge and skills that children and young people should have the opportunity to develop at different ages and stages of their lives. It highlights what a child should know in terms of current online technology, its influence on behaviour and development, and what skills they need to be able to navigate it.

We use the Education for a Connected World framework to support our teaching of Digital Safety, both discretely and in Computing lessons.
