Safety in the Curriculum
Safety is integrated into many areas of our curriculum and is explicitly taught through PSHE, RHE and E-safety.
The PSHE curriculum at SJS aims to develop children's knowledge and understanding of how to be healthy in mind and body and how to keep themselves safe.
E-safety is an essential part of our computing curriculum as it affects the lives of adults and children alike. As the internet and social media are so integral to all our lives, it is important that our pupils and parents are kept up to date with current issues.
Each term, children in all year groups spend time exploring and discussing issues that relate to being safe online and the impact it has on their lives personally. These have been important lessons that have had a real impact on how children in our school use the internet.
E-safety lessons continue throughout the year and often involve class discussions; this way children can have open and real conversations that can impact them in a personal way.

Advice for Adults
CEOP is a command of the National Crime Agency and is dedicated to tackling the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and young people. CEOP helps children and young people under the age of 18 who have been forced or manipulated into taking part, or are being pressured to take part, in sexual activity of any kind. This can be both online and offline. The CEOP Safety Centre offers information and advice for children and young people, parents and carers and professionals.
Online bullying or other online concerns should not be reported to CEOP and children and young people should be directed to speak to an adult they trust, and/or referred to Childline if they would like to speak to someone about how they are feeling.
