Mr Ramsay is the school’s e-safety leader. Learning about how to stay safe online is very important. At St. John’s we make sure our pupils are aware of the risks of being online and what they can do to keep themselves safe. We have a set of SMART rules which the children are expected to follow at home and in school to make sure they stay safe online. These rules can be viewed below and should be followed when using all kinds of technology such as mobile phone, games consoles, tablets and home computers.
On this page we have gathered a number of resources, documents, videos and links to other website to help you successfully navigate through the ever changing face of the internet. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school. We would be only too pleased to give you any help or advice about keeping you and your children safe whilst online.

Social Networks
Children under the age of 13 should not be accessing social network sites and we do not endorse that our children should be using them. However, we know that many do with parent/carer permission. Please take time to read the documents on the right to help ensure their privacy settings are correct to help protect them.
Cyber Squad
The Cyber Squad are a group of children who have been trained by a local safeguarding group to support other pupils when using the internet. The 6 children are always available to talk to other children if they have any concerns regarding what they see when online.
If you have any concerns when using the internet, either in school or at home, do not hesitate to talk to one of our Cyber Squad.
