ESafety
In today's world, the Internet provides a vast range of opportunities for both work and play. At James Marks Academy, we are dedicated to ensuring that our pupils can make safe and confident use of the new technology. For our part, we filter and monitor Internet access, thus giving e-safety the highest possible profile. We know that safe use of technology is most effective when what is learnt is reinforced at home, and we appreciate parental support for this. We have pupils who are exceptionally vulnerable, and so we must be extra vigilant when it comes to internet/social media use.
