James Southworth, co-founder of National Online Safety, said: “Congratulations to everyone at KEPS on becoming a National Online Safety Certified School. By completing our training programme, the school has shown its strong commitment to implementing an effective whole school approach to online safety.”
“It can be increasingly difficult for schools and parents to stay ahead of online threats and ensure both children and staff are safeguarded from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. We arm schools with the knowledge they need to understand online dangers and react in the best way possible to any problems.”
Well-being takes high priority at KEPS. During the pandemic we have continued to support our children, staff and whole community in a variety of ways. This support is imperative if we are to maintain that strength in togetherness and our unique community connection. KEPS was awarded the Teach Well Alliance Gold Award in July 2020 for our work as a school and we are very proud of this achievement.
