The internet and the online world can be an amazing resource and tool for communication, information and enjoyment. However, it also has inherent risks that can be of huge concern. At Forster Park children are regularly taught about how to stay safe and behave online and we want to ensure that parents have that same opportunity.

This page contains the school's policies, online user agreements and useful websites and information about how to keep your children safe online. In addition, please look out for any Online Safety up dates from school. 

If you have a concern and the information on or linked to this page does not help then please contact the school using our keeping in contact email address: keepingincontact@forsterpark.lewisham.sch.uk

With that in mind, below I have included a link to internetmatters.org and their page which can guide you through setting up parental controls on a wide variety of apps and devices:  

Forster Park welcomed Openview Education to run very valuable internet safety training for children, parents and staff in February this year. Below you will find some of the resources discussed in the training.
