Safer Internet Day at RGS Worcester 

RGS Worcester marked Safer Internet Day 2022 this week, with a series of themed events in school. 

We celebrated and promoted the national day with all pupils in Tutor sessions as well as in lessons, which included activities focussing on this year’s theme: ‘Exploring respect and relationships online’. We also held Assemblies for each Year group and outlined key points to consider, things to remember and useful ways to keep safe online. Year Seven pupils participated in an inter-Form competition to design a game concept for the iPad that is specifically about forming and sustaining respectful relationships.

The RGS Worcester Family of Schools is an official supporter of this annual worldwide event, and we take pride in promoting and sharing practical digital safety information with the whole school community.
