Simpson’s Lane Academy follow the planning and guidance as set out by South West Grid for Learning Digital Literacy & Citizenship program. Our aim is for every child to be able to use the internet and related communications technologies appropriately and safely. We are committed to ensuring that children and young people are safe and are protected from potential harm, both within and outside the academy.
