Gaming was also raised as a potential route for young people to be targeted by groomers and case studies were used throughout the interactive session to show our students how to keep safe online. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural lead Miss Garnett said: “The students were really engaged with all the sessions and it was shocking to find out just how many young people have no privacy settings on their social media accounts and accept friend requests from people they do not know. I hope they are now more aware of the dangers and what they can do to reduce the risks so they can still use the internet, but safely.” [social and health education](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/tag/social-and-health-education) [ Students meet cricket legends](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2016-06-28-students-meet-cricket-legends) [Student bravery acknowledged by Mayor of Wirral ](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2016-07-11-student-bravery-acknowledged-by-mayor-of-wirral) ![The Birkenhead Park School](https://files.schudio.com/uabirkenhead/images/logo/Untitled_design_(6).png) #### The Birkenhead Park School Park Road South Birkenhead Wirral, Merseyside CH43 4UY 0151 652 1574 #### Useful Links - [Vacancies](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/job-vacancies) - [Parent View](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/parents/parent-view) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thebirkenheadparkschool/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bpswirral/) - [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@bpswirral) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Birkenhead Park School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
