This week, Oxford Grove took part in a live streamed assembly from Google! The focus was on ‘back to school’ online safety, and we were reminded about lots of different aspects of online safety. Our Digital Leaders supported classes to RRR these important areas of keeping ourselves safe.
Take a look at some of our class blogs:
Welcome to our new Digital Leaders for 2026-2027! These successful applicants will be working closely with Mrs Thompson next year on all areas of online safety!
This week, classes have taken part in a Google assembly about understanding AI. We looked at what AI is, where we can find AI and what AI is capable of. We understand that there are both benefits and risks to using AI. We also know that AI can create a lot of realistic content that is not true, so we need to be very careful and validate all information we find online.
This week, the Digital Leaders have worked across the school to lead an activity in their own classes. We lead a Google assembly focusing on Health and Wellbeing. We learned about how to look after our mental health online, including focusing on fun, screen free activities that we can replace some of our time online with. Class teachers then blogged about our activities on their class blogs.
This week, the Digital Leaders have worked across the school to lead an activity in their own classes. We did some RRR of our discussions this half term on Managing Online Information. We reviewed the objectives that we have been learning about, and looked at different scenarios and how we would react in these situations. Class teachers then blogged about our activities on their class blogs.
Well done on supporting your friends, Digital Leaders!

This week, we have been celebrating Safer Internet Day! Our Digital Leaders led activities in their classes on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and how we need to use this safely and responsibly. Our KS1 classes took part in a live lesson from Tech We Can, where we enjoyed lots of interactive activities and learned a lot about AI. Our KS2 classes completed quizzes from the UK Safer Internet Centre where we were able to discuss different AI scenarios and how we should act in each one.
The focus of the day is ‘Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI’. We know that AI can often get things wrong, and we need to be very sceptical about what we see and read online.
After the activities, Digital Leaders led discussions in their classes on how we can keep ourselves safe when using AI.
