Internet safety

Today’s pupils are often more technically savvy than their parents or carers. This represents severe challenges and risks due to their inexperience in recognising and protecting themselves against online (and offline) dangers. St John’s has a proactive approach to teaching online safety, and in line with our ethos of working parents, carers and the community, provide this page with a selection of links and documents to help you enhance your own knowledge and understanding of online safety.

We also run parent information workshops throughout the year; if you would more information on attending one of these please check the school newsletter for upcoming events.

If you have any questions about the arrangements in place at St John’s, please contact the Computing subject co-ordinator Jamie McCurrach or the school office.
