“We have had a whole week dedicated to e-safety in school, where the children designed posters and took part in role play and discussions around this area.

“Gerald Hughes, our safeguarding governor, hosted presentations for parents, sharing some really useful resources and raising awareness about the dangers of the digital world.

“At Eccleston, we take the safety of our children extremely seriously and we are delighted to have our work in this area acknowledged.”
