Hounslow Heath School recognises that the Internet can give children access to an enormous range of information, resources and tools to support their learning. We encourage them to safely use the wide range of search engines, databases, sites and online resources as part of their own research and other activities. Home access to the Internet and related technologies such as email, messaging services and social media are commonplace.

For this reason we accept our responsibility in helping children use safe and responsible behaviours whenever they use these technologies. It is essential that shared good practice within and beyond school is implemented in order to safeguard our community, also empowering children to protect themselves.

Following the amalgamation we are preparing an Online Safety policy document for Hounslow Heath School. This will be uploaded to this page, with further information as soon as it is available. 

Please contact the school at office@hounslowheathschool.com with any queries, ideas or concerns.
