Online Safety

Redbridge Primary School communicate with parents through letters, newsletters, groupcall emails, texts and our website only. A PTA Facebook account exists for parents, which is managed by the PTA not the school. Effective communication following principles of mutual respect is the best means of ensuring the best learning experiences for the child. Just as we expect our staff and children to behave appropriately and safely online, we ask that parents act as good role models and play their part in ensuring that children are safe online. We ask that parents do not post pictures of pupils, other than their own children, on social networking sites where these photographs have been taken at a school event.

If any parent has a concern or complaint about an issue at school, please follow our complaints policy and use official school channels rather than posting complaints and concerns on social networks e.g. WhatsApp and Facebook groups. Parents should not post malicious or fictitious comments on social networking sites about any member of the school community. We are very lucky to have such a caring, engaged members of the school community who treat our children and staff with respect. We will not tolerate any staff member being subject to online abuse. Where this occurs, it will be followed up by the school leadership team and passed on to relevant external agencies where necessary.
