Online Safety

At St James' we aim to provide children with life skills for their future and the tools to protect themselves online. One of those life skills is using the online world safely and responsibly. If you wish to know more about online safety or would like any advice for managing your child's use of the internet, apps, or social media, click the links below to find out more or contact us- we will be happy to help. 

We use filters in school so that the children do not access any harmful or inappropriate content whilst in school.  We do feel that it is important to teach them how to keep themselves safe online too so that they have the tools to use outside of the school environment.

Our Online Safety Policy is regularly reviewed to keep up with fast moving developments in the digital world.

We have a nominated Online Safety Governor-  Mrs Kerry Lunn.

Online Safety is covered through our Computing Curriculum and through PHSE where we use Kidsafe and Heartsmart.
