We all use technology in our everyday lives and it is vital that we are able to use it safely. In the event that we feel unsafe about something, we need to know what to do. The links below will help you refresh yourself, or to learn more about internet safety, and how to stay safe during these unprecedented times.
The Online Safety lead at HMS is Amanda Frankish, Deputy Headteacher. For our full Online Safety Policy and related policies, such as Anti-Bullying and the Pupil ICT Acceptable Use Agreement, please see our Policies page.
