The internet and related technologies, including mobile devices such as phones, gaming media, tables, and watches, are developing rapidly and are integral to the daily lives of our pupils. Many of these technologies are used to enable pupils to engage creatively with their learning. Socially, our pupils often use the internet for entertainment, interaction and communication with ‘friends’ – bringing about new risks which many adults were never faced with when they were growing up. This Thursday 31 March, all [Kirkham Grammar School](https://www.facebook.com/kirkhamgrammarschool/?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZU3NXFdUo58s00Xv3tMsBmHyqmNL5t9BuLjzPmu70aQ88X4DmSDzT5DGZIx24qIijCjmpQgnOq4mvdJ7dvXil4ss6a_XlPo22fiwJHAuuU04RqdoXtrdbk8Afs7k8baF66kPrepQiVkVKS9BnbAw7V6ie-tTtLZYIl6IGzDNu5lyg&__tn__=kK-R) pupils from First Year to Upper Sixth will be attending workshops led by Karl Hopwood, an independent e-safety expert. He has also created a parental workshop for our KGS parents - this can be viewed below: [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ciN52bzbyrM?rel=0) This workshop lasts about 55 minutes and is designed to help parents understand how their children use the internet and associated technologies, so that they can help to manage the risks that exist and reinforce the important online safety messages that we promote at school. We do hope you find this useful and informative. **Tags:** [2021-2022](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2021-2022) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2022-03-25-kgs-u14s-win-richard-wilson-sevens-trophy) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2022-03-29-sports-reports) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
