Children and staff at Chauncy School are able to access the Internet through the Hertfordshire Grid for Learning (HGfL). The HGfL is a service currently supplied by NTL:Telewest Business (Virgin Media) to all Hertfordshire Local Authority Schools and Children's Homes.

The safety of children when using the Internet (E-Safety) is of paramount importance to our school and to the HGfL.

We know that parents and guardians will also be concerned that children stay safe when using the Internet at home and elsewhere. The HGfL website has a section dedicated to E-Safety with advice to parents, governors, teachers and, of course, to children themselves. You will also find here a description of the particular measures taken to ensure that the HGfL is an appropriately protected Internet service for use in schools.
