online safety bulletin

Please find our latest online safety bulletin below, followed by a message from Assistant Head Mr Roberts. This week it is focused on the game Fortnite:

Over the years, Fortnite has become a household name in the gaming community. It was one of the first titles in the ‘battle royale’ subgenre, where players are thrown into a chaotic free-for-all on a sprawling map and fight until only one remains. Its cartoonish presentation and satisfying gameplay loop make it a potentially attractive choice for young players.

However, it’s important to remember that online safety risks are always present – especially in multiplayer games – and Fortnite is no exception. This free guide, put together with expert input, tells you all you need to know about the safety concerns of this popular title, and offers advice on how to protect children and young people as they enjoy the game.

As always, if this information raises any questions, queries or concerns, please make contact via form tutor in the first instance.

Kind regards

Mr Roberts
