<strong>Caterham</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s <strong>Responsible</strong> <strong>Use</strong> Agreement<br />
This policy is built around the idea that you, as students of <strong>Caterham</strong> <strong>School</strong>, will respect and<br />
protect yourselves, the school, and the school community in your use of mobile technology.<br />
Respect Yourself<br />
I will not do, write, or publish anything using an internet-enabled device that I would not be prepared<br />
to show to my parents, the headmaster or a future employer. I will choose usernames that are<br />
appropriate, consider carefully what personal information I give out about my life, experiences and<br />
relationships. I will not be obscene.<br />
Protect Yourself<br />
I will ensure that the images and information I author online do not put me at risk in any way. I will not<br />
publish personal details, especially contact details or details of my specific location. I will not give out<br />
details of my usernames or passwords to ANYONE, even as a favour to a friend. I will report any<br />
abuse, attacks or misconduct aimed at me.<br />
Respect Others<br />
I will never use my device to bully, harass or upset other people. Jokes do not translate well to the<br />
medium of the internet and can cause extraordinary upset even if it was not intended. I will show<br />
respect in the choices of websites I choose to visit, ensuring that I do not view sites that offer<br />
degrading, pornographic, racist or otherwise inappropriate content. I will never access the internet<br />
using a logon that is not my own, or use a device which does not belong to me <strong>with</strong>out explicit<br />
permission. I will respect the laws of copyright and intellectual property and ensure that I reference<br />
materials that I use when they are not my own.<br />
Protect Others<br />
I will report any abuse that I witness over the internet or sent between enabled-devices and will not<br />
forward or share inappropriate content.<br />
Respect <strong>Caterham</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
I will always use my device as directed by my teachers and only for the purposes of learning.<br />
Protect <strong>Caterham</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
I will not post anything online that could bring the school into disrepute.<br />
I recognize that the <strong>School</strong> has the right to confiscate and search devices if it has cause to<br />
believe that a serious disciplinary or criminal breach has occurred. I also recognize that any<br />
device I bring to school is entirely at my own risk and that <strong>Caterham</strong> <strong>School</strong> bears no<br />
responsibility whatsoever for items lost or damaged on the premises.<br />
I understand the ‘respect and protect’ policy regarding using my own mobile device in school and<br />
agree to abide by the rules laid out above.<br />

Inappropriate use<br />
Pupils using devices inappropriately can expect to be punished. They may be forbidden to bring<br />
devices to <strong>School</strong> for a set period or permanently. If lessons are disrupted or other pupils are<br />
distressed the usual <strong>School</strong> <strong>sanctions</strong> will apply.<br />
Cyber Bullying: Cyber bullying will be treated in the same way as any other type of bullying whether<br />
it occurs in or out of <strong>School</strong>. Any instances of bullying will be dealt <strong>with</strong> firmly and sensitively. We<br />
have an agreed anti-bullying policy. Our aim is to prevent bullying in any form. This requires pupils to<br />
avoid any deliberate unkindness to another member of the community. It also requires anyone made<br />
aware of any such behaviour to report it. The <strong>School</strong> is prepared to offer help and support to any<br />
pupil but bullying will not be tolerated. Anyone who continues to bully will have their membership of<br />
the school community reviewed by the Headmaster.<br />
Respect for Property<br />
All equipment should be clearly marked and care should be taken to lock away valuable equipment.<br />
Pupils Should not lend or borrow devices.<br />
Theft: If theft is detected pupils must expect to be either suspended or expelled.<br />
Vandalism: Any damage (which includes graffiti) to someone else’s property be it a fellow pupil’s, a<br />
teacher’s or the school’s property will be taken very seriously. Not only will the damage have to be<br />
paid for, but a vandal must expect to be suspended or expelled.
