Keeping Children Safe Online
As technology becomes an ever-present part of our children’s lives, it brings incredible opportunities for learning and connection - but also risks that we must all be vigilant about. Mobile devices and online platforms can expose children to inappropriate content, cyberbullying and even contact from strangers.
We encourage all parents and carers to:
- Monitor usage regularly: Know what apps and websites your child is using.
- Set clear boundaries: Establish screen time limits and agree on rules for online behaviour.
- Talk openly: Encourage your child to share if something online makes them uncomfortable.
- Use parental controls: These can help filter content and manage access.
The most powerful safeguard is an ongoing conversation. Children need to feel confident that they can come to you if they encounter something worrying online. Together, we can ensure that technology remains a positive and safe tool for learning and play.

Parents'/carers' responsibility to keep their child safe online
Thank you for your continued vigilance when your child/children are online or using mobile technology. We use CPOMS (an online safeguarding tracking tool) to record all safeguarding concerns. Where we have reason to do so (including concerning child use of mobile technology, use of inappropriate online sites, watching inappropriate movies or videos [e.g. YouTube], etc.), we may have to contact the parents/carers to explain our concerns. If these serious concerns persists, we may be forced to contact Surrey Social Care as part of our Safeguarding procedures. Surrey Social Care would then contact the parents directly.
To learn more about our Safeguarding procedures, please visit - https:// www.esherchurchschool.co.uk/policies/ (Child Protection and Safeguarding, ICT Acceptable Use Policy, Mobile Phone, Online safety policies)
In addition, please ensure that you have also completed the ICT Acceptable Use Policy document, shared last week via Weduc. Without completion, your child may not be able to use any computer technology in school. Please see the email or Weduc app for further information about what you NEED to do.
Thank you for your continued support in ensuring all children in school are safe online.

At ECS, we are proud of the vibrant, nurturing environment we’ve built together - a place where children feel inspired to learn, grow and thrive. To continue enhancing our facilities and enriching learning experiences, we invite you to support our School Improvement Fund.
This fund plays a vital role in helping us upgrade classrooms, invest in new learning technologies, improve outdoor spaces and create exciting opportunities for our pupils. Every contribution—big or small—makes a meaningful difference.
Why Give Regularly?
Regular donations allow us to plan ahead and prioritise projects that directly benefit your children. Whether it’s a new reading corner, science equipment, creative arts resources or building our new Innovation Hub, your support helps bring these ideas to life.
How to Contribute Setting up a monthly donation is simple and secure.
You can choose an amount that suits your family and know that every penny goes toward making our school even better for our children.
We are incredibly grateful to the families who already contribute. Your generosity is already helping us build a brighter future for all our learners.

A welcome from our
Headteacher
Esher Church School is a well-established and highly regarded Church of England primary academy in Esher, north west Surrey. Our vision underpins our drive to provide exceptional educational experiences for all children, equipping them with knowledge, skills and understanding to thrive in an ever-changing world. We focus on developing the whole child, encouraging each one to realise their academic and personal potential while also developing a sense of responsibility for themselves and others so they can make a difference.
Esher Church School is a faith school for all, not just a church school for Christians. We are fully inclusive of different backgrounds, faiths and abilities and welcome the diversity from across Esher and surrounding areas. Everything the school does, including the staff, governors and parents and carers focuses on the best educational experience for our children through our broad, balanced and challenging curriculum. Visitors to our school always notice the caring, safe and friendly environment which is enhanced by the children’s engagement and enthusiasm for learning in classrooms, sports fields and beyond.
We are an aspirational school, where we continuously develop our curriculum and our team to keep our teaching and learning high quality and ensure all children flourish. We work in partnership with local and national schools, both in the maintained and independent sectors, to share best practice with an uncompromised focus on learning and inspiring lifelong success.
