Online Safety Information
At Kirby Hill C of E Primary, we recognise the importance of online safety. To support our families, we have joined Knowsley City Learning Centres' online safety initiative, giving us access to their monthly, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand advice for parents and carers. This guidance helps families keep their children safe online, whether on their phones, gaming, or browsing the internet.
These are emailed monthly to parents and can be accessed below:
