In our ever-growing digital community, it is imperative that we keep our children safe, in the virtual world, as well as our real one.

At St John's we are always looking at making sure we keep our children as safe as possible. It is imperative that we give our children the necessary knowledge and tools to make sure that they are able to stay safe and enjoy online resources.

We help to keep our pupils safe online by

• Teaching E-safety lessons
• Using filtering on our school systems to prevent access to 
• Use a monitoring system to identify inappropriate usage of our system.
• Providing information to parents and carers about online safety
