Cyber safety workshops • KS2 to Sixth Form

Help pupils spot manipulation before it becomes harm.

Age-appropriate, scenario-led workshops give pupils a practical routine for online decisions: pause, check and report. Staff CPD helps your team reinforce the same message long after the session.

Mercury EW Cyber Academy

More than another e-safety talk.

Children are influenced online every day. Schools need learning that keeps pace with the pressure, persuasion and uncertainty pupils face in the real world.

Digital Resilience for Schools gives pupils usable decision-making skills and staff a consistent language for follow-through. It is designed to complement your safeguarding, PSHE/RSHE, computing and pastoral provision—not replace it.

School-aware delivery

Safeguarding is part of the plan, not small print.

External expertise is most useful when it fits the school around it. We agree the context, audience and reporting language with your nominated lead before delivery.

Discuss your school context
01

Brief before delivery

Share relevant priorities with your DSL, online-safety or programme lead.

02

Keep it age-appropriate

Examples, language and level of challenge are shaped to the pupils in the room.

03

Reinforce your routes

Workshop language supports pupils to report concerns through your school's established procedures.

Important: sessions support—but do not replace—your school's curriculum, policies, staff judgement or safeguarding procedures.

Why this matters for schools

Questions school leaders ask

The practical details, upfront.

Still deciding what your school needs? Send us the year group and your main concern; we'll recommend a sensible starting point.

Ask the programme team
Which pupils are the workshops for?

Delivery is available from KS2 through KS3, KS4 and Sixth Form. The language, scenarios and level of challenge are adapted to the age group.

Can the content reflect our school's priorities?

Yes. The discovery conversation identifies the year group, relevant themes and safeguarding context so the recommended session has a clear purpose.

Does this replace PSHE, RSHE or computing provision?

No. External workshops are most effective when they complement planned, ongoing provision. The programme is designed to reinforce—not replace—your curriculum and safeguarding procedures.

How are sensitive topics handled?

Scope, examples and language are agreed at an age-appropriate level, with reporting messages aligned to the routes pupils already use in school.

What delivery formats are available?

Choose a 3-hour workshop, half-day session, full-day programme or bespoke delivery. Staff CPD is available as a one-day or twilight workshop.
