Digital Leaders                    

Using technology and the Internet well is about using it safely and responsibly which we teach our children about and promote by the presence of Digital Leaders and the Jessie & Friends resources. This helps ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to successfully navigate themselves through the online world, so they become good digital citizens.

What is their role?

A Digital Leader is a pupil who is part of a Digital Leaders Team, whose role is to help promote, support the use of and further the development of Computing and Technology in school. They help carry out and promote events throughout the year, carry out Online Safety assemblies to the whole school and help run competitions across the school to promote Purple Mash and the Artist of the Half-term.

Online Safety with Jessie and Friends

The key message throughout Jessie and Friends is that if a child is ever worried by anything online, they should tell a grown-up they trust, who will help them. However, before watching these videos we advise you to read through the guidance on the ThinkuKnow website.

The Jessie & Friends animations are age-appropriate resources and do not depict any situations where adults communicate with children online. Instead. They show safe, non-scary situations which help young viewers identify things which might worry them online.
