INTERNET ACCESS IN SCHOOL



Internet Access in School

Access to the Internet is a planned part of the curriculum that will enrich and extend learning activities and is integrated into schemes of work. As in other areas of their work, we recognise that pupils learn most effectively when they are given clear objectives for Internet use. Different ways of accessing information from the Internet will be used depending upon the nature of the material being accessed and the age of the pupils.


  •   Students will not intentionally visit Internet sites that contain obscene, illegal, hateful or otherwise objectionable materials.
  • Students will report accidental accessing of inappropriate materials in accordance with school procedures.
  • Students will use the Internet for educational purposes only during class time.  All web sites will be vetted by the class teacher.
  • Students will not copy information into assignments and fail to acknowledge the source.
  • Students will never disclose or publicize personal information (name, age, gender, address etc.)
  • Downloading materials or images not relevant to their studies, is in direct breach of the school’s acceptable usage policy.
  • Students will be aware that any usage, including distributing or receiving information, school related or personal, may be monitored for unusual activity, security and/or network management reasons.
