Lesson Plan Bundle for Primary Schools (Age 3-11) | National Online Safety

ALIGNED TO STATUTORY POLICY & DfE GUIDANCE
Our brand new lesson plans and videos are aligned directly to:

• DfE ‘Teaching Online Safety in School’ guidance (June 2019)
• DfE Statutory guidance ‘Relationships education, relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education’ (Updated July 2019, becoming statutory from September 2020)
• UKCCIS ‘Education for a Connected World’ framework which is referenced in the revised Keeping Children Safe in Education (September 2019)
• The new Ofsted EIF & Ofsted Handbook (September 2019)

What are they?
Based on the eight key topics outlined in the UKCCIS ‘Education for a Connected World’ framework, our new Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 interactive video lessons talk to the children about online dangers in a fun and engaging way, providing a truly immersive experience.
Each video lesson has accompanying activities to support learning on the topic of online safety, helping to provide young children with the knowledge to protect themselves from the risks they pose when using technology.

Why have we produced them?
Because schools told us to. The UKCCIS ‘Education for a Connected World’ framework is an important document. But it does not lend itself easily to teaching and learning, particularly to younger children. We were told that capturing children’s attention around online safety and delivering messages in line with the UKCCIS guidance was no easy task. So, we listened. And we went away, and we innovated. Flat content has its place, but we needed something with a bit more. Something which was imaginative, engaging and to which children could relate to. We brought in children’s TV stars, some with global appeal. And we married online safety with classroom-based learning to create fun, engaging and interactive video lesson plans which encourage and inspire children to learn about a range of online risks. Teachers asked for our help, so we delivered.

Based on the UKCCIS “Education for a Connected World” Framework, our lesson plans and resources cover all of the learning objectives listed below:

• Self Image & Identity – This topic covers understanding emotions and responding to scenarios that make them feel uncomfortable online.
• Online Relationships – This topic covers ways in which information can be put online and how devices can be used to communicate with others.
