The children completed the surveys independently. They could ask for clarification if they were unsure of
the questions. Not all children answered all questions.
This data represents an even split between boys and girls (34/33)
60% of pupils spend more than 1 hour a day on the Internet. 6% spend more than 3 hours a day.
The top use of the Internet was YouTube.
The vast majority of our children access the Internet via a mobile device, however they were not asked
whether or not parental controls were in place. Accessing the Internet via game consoles came second.
37% of the children surveyed admitted to playing online with people who they had NOT met.
28 % of the children surveyed had a social networking site although there may be some confusion with
regards to its definition. FaceTime and Skype (and other VoIP’s) are not necessarily defined as ‘social
networks’.
‘Talking to family’ was the main purpose of the children’s social network accounts.
52% of the children surveyed said that they do not use secure passwords.
25% of the children surveyed own their own phone. Taking photos is its main function.
3% of the children survey claim to have been bullied online / by phone.
8% of the children surveyed claim to know someone who has been bullied online / by phone.
The raw data identifies one child playing age-inappropriate games (Call of Duty & HALO4). This child also
admitted to having a social network and sharing details online.
