At Thornton Primary School, our filtering systems do not allow children to access a website until it has been through the filtering process and has therefore been considered safe for use. 

At Thornton Primary School, children access age appropriate educational websites, such as:

• TT Rockstars 
• BBC Bitesize
• Nessy
• Maths Frame 

Autumn 2025
This half-term, the school has focused on online safety. We have all spent time learning about different ways in which we can stay safe when we are online, as well as ways in which we can ask for help if we are ever concerned about how we are feeling when we are online. It has also been great to use our Computing skills alongside other subjects from across the curriculum.  

Wake Up Wednesday
At Thornton, one of the ways we promote online safety is through the use of our Wake Up Wednesdays. Every Wednesday parents receive a useful information guide for ways to help children learn about staying safe online. Please contact Mr. Simpson if you would like further information about this.
