Technology is a fundamental part of our everyday lives. It impacts upon the way we work, teach, learn and play. At Bletchingdon we recognise that technology can be exciting, innovative and fun, but that it can also expose us to risks and dangers. We are committed to educating our children about how to keep safe, happy, healthy and in control wherever and whenever they are online.
