At Buildwas Academy we have our pupil’s safety at the heart of everything we do. In order to keep our pupils safe we educate them on how to keep themselves safer and some of the dangers they can come across in everyday life. Technology is constantly changing and is a pivotal part of life. We feel it is essential to show children and their parents’ how to safeguard themselves whilst using this fantastic learning resource.
