Keeping Children Safe in Education

A Safer Internet for Education Event

We invite your senior leaders, DSL and technicians to join us for lunch at midday, followed by hosted sessions from KRCS.

Courthouse Green Primary School, will also be sharing how, as an Apple Distinguished School from Triumph Trust with around 800 iPads across two schools, meet the challenge of KCSiE with Securly web filtering.

We'll discuss the “Keeping Children Safe in Education” (KCSiE) statutory guidelines for safeguarding in schools and best practice on keeping your learners safe online. We will consider the challenges presented by the guidelines and want to hear your experience with both technical and pedagogical solutions. See how we can support schools in being compliant when using Mac or iPad.

After the event, the Museum will be open to visit until 17:00.

KCSiE Statutory Guidelines

The Department for Education’s statutory guidance, obliges schools and colleges in England to “ensure appropriate filters and appropriate monitoring systems are in place and regularly review their effectiveness” and they “should be doing all that they reasonably can to limit children’s exposure to the above risks from the school’s or college’s IT system” however, schools will need to “be careful that “over blocking” does not lead to unreasonable restrictions as to what children can be taught with regards to online teaching and safeguarding.”

Courthouse Green

Courthouse Green Primary School

Courthouse Green Primary School has around 800 iPads in use across both schools in Triumph Trust, Coventry. The school has invested in 1:1 iPad deployment for pupils in Years 3-6, which means almost all children now have their own exclusive iPad, improving creativity, interactivity, and accessibility for all. In 2021, the school was awarded Apple Distinguished School status for its innovative use of iPad.

There has been no better moment in my whole career than seeing all the children open those boxes and log on to their iPad. Apple technology is simplicity itself; everything you’re ever going to need and it’s accessible to children of all ages. It’s enabled the children to lead their own learning and to present it in a more creative way and the teachers have developed their knowledge and skill set often alongside the children. Pupils can proudly demonstrate their skill sets and are able to collaborate with others whilst sharing and adapting their understanding.
