📅 Safer Internet Day 2027 is Tuesday 9 February — book by early January to secure the day itself.

The WOW-day anchor for Safer Internet Day

The 2027 theme is Reflect on tech: exploring digital wellbeing and our relationship with technology, and it sits squarely in what this workshop already does — screen-time balance, digital footprint, and how children feel about their own relationship with their devices. Every primary school in the UK runs something for Safer Internet Day. The best-remembered ones anchor the week with a hands-on WOW moment — an assembly-plus-workshop combination that pupils talk about at home, not another form-time slide deck.

Our AI Discovery + Navigate the Digital World combined session is our most-booked Safer Internet Day workshop. It's a differentiated hands-on day: EYFS and KS1 explore what's real and pretend online and how to tell a trusted adult; Years 3-4 practice AI-spotting and prompt-writing basics; Years 5-6 tackle deepfakes, image manipulation, digital footprint and low-level online cruelty. Ofsted-mapped, KCSIE-aligned, and left-behind teacher pack for the rest of the week.

What's included in the workshop

1

Whole-school assembly

A 20-minute WOW opener setting up the theme of the week — kindness, empathy, standing up. Sets the tone for pupils to arrive at their workshop primed to engage.

2

4 or 7 differentiated sessions

Half day: 4 sessions covering up to 128 pupils. Full day: 7 sessions covering up to 224 pupils. Each session pitched to the year group in front of us — Reception looks different to Year 6.

3

Fake news and misinformation

From Year 2 upwards, pupils work with real and invented stories side by side — checking sources, spotting manipulation, and asking the questions that stop something being shared before it has been thought about. The activity that maps most directly to the 2028 statutory media literacy requirement.

4

Digital citizenship module (Y5-6)

Upper KS2 tackles online cruelty, group-chat pressure, and where to find help (Childline, Report Remove, Kooth). Practical, not preachy.

5

Teacher pack for the full week

Assembly script for the following day, tutor-time discussion prompts (Wed/Thu/Fri), a home-learning task to take the conversation home, and one A4 PSHE evidence sheet for your subject leader file.

6

KCSIE 2024-referenced safeguarding pack

Sent with your booking confirmation. All facilitators Enhanced DBS-checked. Named DSL on the day. Photo consent handled to your school's policy.

How schools use Safer Internet Day week

Safer Internet Day 2027 falls on Tuesday 9 February. The week around it is the busiest in the online safety calendar, and the day itself goes first — most schools book it before Christmas.

Option 1 — the day itself (Tuesday 9 February). The obvious choice, and the one that fills first. Your assembly and workshops land on the day the whole sector is talking about, which makes the newsletter and the social post write themselves.

Option 2 — Monday 8 February, opening the week. Our recommendation if the Tuesday has gone. The workshop sets the tone, teachers run the follow-up activities from your pack across the rest of the week, and the messages have four more days to land.

Option 3 — Friday 12 February, closing the week. Pupils arrive having already done assemblies and tutor-time sessions, so the discussion is noticeably richer. Good for schools whose own programme is already strong.

Option 4 — the weeks either side. Late January or the week after half term. Fewer competing demands on the hall, the same content, and far more choice of dates. For a multi-form school needing several days, this is usually the practical answer.

What each year group covers

Every session is pitched to the class in front of us. A Reception session and a Year 6 session share a theme and almost nothing else.

1

Reception and Year 1

Safe and unsafe online behaviour through stories and sorting games. What to do when something on a screen feels wrong — and that telling a grown-up is always the right answer, never something to be in trouble for. Lots of movement, nothing abstract.

2

Years 2 and 3

Passwords, personal information and what is safe to share. Pupils sort information into what to shield and what is fine to give away, and meet their digital footprint for the first time. Kind communication online, and why a message can land differently from a conversation.

3

Years 4 and 5

Fake news and how to check a source. Digital footprints in more depth — how small pieces of information build into a picture. Screen-time balance, how screens affect sleep and mood, and building a realistic plan rather than a guilt-driven one.

4

Year 6

Misinformation techniques, how content spreads, and why some things are designed to be shared. Group-chat pressure, social comparison and what the 2027 theme calls our relationship with technology. Where to get help — Childline, Report Remove, Kooth — covered practically, not preached.

Why this matters before 2028

Media literacy — including recognising misinformation and understanding how online content is shaped — becomes a statutory part of the primary curriculum from September 2028. Most primaries are not yet teaching it explicitly, and almost none have evidence they could show an inspector.

Schools that start now are in a different position in two years time: the staff have seen it taught, the children have the vocabulary, and there is a trail of evidence rather than a scramble. Safer Internet Day is the natural place to begin, because it is already in your calendar.

Every KS2 class we work with is included in the Future Skills Passport for the year, which maps what pupils cover to the DfE PSHE framework and exports as a single PDF per class or for the whole school.

Common questions

When is Safer Internet Day 2027?

Tuesday 9 February 2027. The theme is Reflect on tech: exploring digital wellbeing and our relationship with technology, announced by the UK Safer Internet Centre.

Do you cover EYFS as well as KS2?

Yes. Sessions run from Reception to Year 6 and are rewritten for each year group rather than simplified. EYFS and Year 1 work through stories and sorting games; Year 6 tackles misinformation and online influence. The differentiation is the point — it is why a single day can cover your whole school.

What is the Safer Internet Day 2027 theme?

Reflect on tech: exploring digital wellbeing and our relationship with technology. Our sessions build directly on it — pupils examine their own screen habits, how being online makes them feel, and what a healthy balance looks like, alongside the practical safety skills.

What should a primary school do for Safer Internet Day?

The schools that get the most from it anchor the week with something hands-on rather than running a single assembly. A workshop day gives every class its own session and gives staff a shared reference point to come back to for the rest of the year. Our teacher pack covers the following days so the week does not depend on one visit.

How much does a Safer Internet Day workshop cost?

£499 + VAT for a half day (4 sessions, up to 128 pupils) or £599 + VAT for a full day (7 sessions, up to 224 pupils). Everything is included — the facilitator, all resources, the assembly and the teacher pack.

How far in advance should we book?

For the day itself, before Christmas — Tuesday 9 February is the single most requested date of the spring term. The weeks either side stay open considerably longer. If you need several days for a larger school, talk to us early.

Can we combine this with our PSHE year plan?

Yes. Our Curriculum Calendar maps out one workshop per half term across the year, with Navigate the Digital World as the Spring 1 anchor and Safer Internet Day its natural moment. Pair with our Future Skills Passport to evidence it.
