Online Safety
At Lymphsam C of E Academy, we are proud to be working in partnership with Smoothwall to promote online safety for both you and your child.
The Online Safety Hub is a dedicated website offering a wide range of resources, including app reviews and practical advice for parents and carers. It is designed to help children benefit from all the positive opportunities that technology can offer, while also supporting families in developing the knowledge and skills needed to guide and protect children throughout their digital journeys.
