“Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.”

Huw Irranca-Davies

Keeping Our Children Safe

At Leigh St. John’s Church of England Primary School, the safety and well-being of our pupils are central to everything we do. We are committed to providing a secure, caring and positive environment where every child can grow, learn and feel valued.

Safeguarding is a shared priority across our school community. We work hard to ensure that every pupil feels safe, supported and listened to so they can thrive academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

In this section, you will find important information about safeguarding at Leigh St. John’s. Our Safeguarding Policy explains how we keep children safe and what to do if you ever have a concern or need advice.

Together, we take responsibility for creating a school where children feel protected, respected and ready to reach their full potential.

Keeping Safe Online

  • ThinkuKnow - eSafety for parents and children This is a wonderful website which offers excellent advice for parents and teachers on how children can stay safe online. There are many games which children of all ages can play to teach them the essentials of eSafety.

Safe:

Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information when you’re chatting or posting online. Personal information includes your email address, phone number and password.

Meet:

Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents’ or carers’ permission and even then only when they can be present. Remember online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time.

Accepting:

Accepting emails, IM messages, or opening files, images or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems – they may contain viruses or nasty messages!

Reliable:

Someone online might lie about who they are and information on the internet may not be true. Always check information by looking at other websites, in books, or with someone who knows. If you like chatting online it’s best to only chat to your real world friends and family.

Tell:

Tell a parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone, or something, makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you or someone you know is being bullied online.
