Online Safety

We value the importance of online safety at St John's CE Primary.

We make sure that you have opportunities at school to learn how to keep safe online and when using digital devices. We might even call the online world a 'digital playground'. It's good to have fun and enjoy yourself online but we need to make sure that we are treating it as we would in the playground at school or out in the community.

Do not forget that you have your net of people around you to support you. This includes if you need any help online or with things that happen when using your digital devices.

Think before you share

Check it's for real

Protect your stuff

Respect each other

When in doubt, discuss
