Online Safety
Staying Safe Online in School and at Home.
Using the internet is a huge part of our daily routine, whether this is through researching, computing or using educational apps, so here at St John's, we are committed to ensuring every child can use the internet respectfully and safely.
The school’s Online Safety, Acceptable Use, Twitter and Safeguarding policies clearly outline the way in which the school uses technology and the measures in place to ensure safe and responsible use by all.
Curriculum
Children are taught about online safety in a number of ways including through PSHE, computing and specific days such as internet safety day. Please see our PSHE and Computing Long Term plans for more information.
