How we protect your children online at school
Our school network is secured and monitored via the LGfL (London Grid for Learning) firewall and content web filter. We block any inappropriate content and children have restricted access to the internet.
Individual Logins
Pupils have their own individual logins for Chromebooks and any accounts they are set up with, which they are taught to keep private.
Purple Mash
Pupils have individual accounts with Purple Mash through which they access various units of work and software which is safe for pupils to use.

PIXLR for Education
