As children become increasing immersed in the digit world, we believe that children need to learn, from a young age, how to keep themselves safe online. This very important subject is covered in PSHE lessons during the course of the year as well as in computing lessons and Collective Worship These are the main key areas that we discuss with children.
Our goal here at St John's is to equip every child with the tools to live a safe and successful life plugged in to the internet. Please visit the links below for further information regarding E-safety
