At Great Gaddesden School, we work hard to ensure that pupils are provided access to IT knowledge and skills, preparing them for life in the world in which we live. 
 
All pupils have regular opportunities to access a range of different devices and software, in order to support their learning across the curriculum. 
 
E-Safety is an area of particular importance at Great Gaddesden and this is reflected in our Home School Agreement. Through Google's Interland, children are taught about staying safe online. 
 
School equipment is regularly monitored by staff and any inappropriate use will be flagged to parents/carers in the first instance as in line with our e-safety policy.
