E-Safety
Children and young people spend a lot of time online – it can be a great way for them to socialise, explore and have fun. However, children do also face risks such as cyberbullying or accessing inappropriate content. That’s why it’s important for them to know how to stay safe online.
At Brighouse High School we strive to keep your child safe whilst using the Internet in school. We have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) which outlines safe working practices and procedures. Our curriculum includes links to online safety including cyberbullying through subject areas and through our Learning 4 Life / Tutorial programme.
Technology has many benefits, but as you hear in the news, it also has many dangers and it is important that you talk to your child about e-safety.
Below are some useful resources to help ensure your child is safe on the internet at home:

Bullying & Cyber-Bullying
Brighouse High School aims to provide a secure and safe environment for all individuals and seeks to promote in pupils an attitude of consideration to others. We believe that every pupil has the right to enjoy learning free from intimidation both in school and the surrounding community. As a school community we will not tolerate any unkind actions or remarks, even if they are not intended to hurt or offend. We will actively promote and implement our Anti-bullying policy and Cyberbullying policy through classwork, pastoral work, staff development, and communication with parents and staff.
