  • Copy, save or redistribute Copyright-protected materials
  • Subscribe to any online services or order goods or services
  • Play computer games or use online ‘chat’ sites, including sites such as ‘Bebo’ and ‘Facebook’

  • Publish, share or distribute personal information about themselves or their classmates e.g. home address, phone numbers etc.
  • Download software

If ANY student has concerns about the use of the Internet, or content that they access accidently or observe, they should:

In addition, classes are regularly monitored and ‘screen grabs’ of ANY Internet usage not conforming to school rules will be taken and presented as evidence to House Leaders/Directors for further action.
