Internet Agreement

 

Old Leake Primary School Internet Agreement
 
Please complete and return this form to your child’s class teacher, which will be valid for the duration of the pupil’s time at Old Leake Primary & Nursery School.
 
At Old Leake Primary, we expect all pupils to be responsible for their own behaviour on the Internet, just as they are anywhere else in school. This includes materials they choose to access, and language they use.
·         Pupils using the World Wide Web are expected not to deliberately seek out offensive materials. Should any pupils encounter any such material accidentally, they are expected to report it immediately to a teacher.
·         Pupils are expected not to use any rude language in their email communications and contact only people they know or those the teacher has approved.
·         It is forbidden to be involved in sending chain letters.
·         Pupils must ask permission before accessing the Internet.
·         Pupils should not access other people’s files unless permission has been given.
·         School computers should only be used for schoolwork and homework unless permission has been granted otherwise.
·         No program files may be downloaded to the computer from the Internet.
·         No programs on disc or CD-Rom should be brought in from home for use in school.
·         Homework completed at home may be brought in on floppy disc but this will have to be virus scanned by the class teacher before use.
·         Personal printing is not allowed on our network for cost reasons (e.g. pictures of pop groups/cartoon characters).
·         No personal information such as phone numbers and addresses should be given out and no arrangements to meet someone made unless this is part of an approved school project.
I understand that if my child breaks these rules then they may not be allowed to use the Internet.
