We take the safety and well-being of the children at Langham Village School very seriously.

Being safe online is so relevant now that many of our children are accessing the internet through many different mediums.

Here are some links that will be helpful to ensure that your children are staying safe online.

Common Sense Media in the United States has produced a programme which we believe provides a sound basis to embed E-Safety within the UK school curriculum, from Foundation Stage to Key Stage 5.


To support schools in the UK, SWGfL has produced a series of documents which will signpost schools to the relevant Common Sense Media lesson plans, resources and to additional relevant materials from the UK, Europe and elsewhere. These SWGfL documents indicate the Key Stage that are equivalent to the Common Sense Media (US) age groups.
