Reporting an Online Safety Concern
If you are a pupil or parent of a child at Christ Church Junior and you have an online concern that you would like to report (concerning anything at home or school) then please
Online Safety
At CCJ we understand the importance of e-safety for our pupils, family and community. We want to ensure that every child in our care is safe, and the same principles apply to the ‘virtual’ or digital world as are applied to our physical world. We have strict filtering systems and policies in place to protect our pupils online as far as possible. Despite this, we understand that using digital devices and the web is never 100% safe, therefore we try really hard to ensure that our pupils are equipped for situations which might be unsuitable or uncomfortable both in school and when using technology at home.

How E-Safety is taught at CCJ
To enable our children to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly we teach an e-safety lesson every term. This yearly overview allows teachers to specifically focus on one theme per term. The themes were carefully selected to provide children with the knowledge and opportunities to recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact and to make positive choices when using the internet across different platforms and programs. Our computing lead carefully crafts our E-Safety lessons to ensure the children are exposed to the most up to date content, to allow the children to relate the teaching to their own internet use and to ensure progression through your child's computing journey with us.
Alongside this, we deliver an across-school project each year for Internet Safety Day as well as two staff training sessions per year. We are part of a learning alliance with other local schools, therefore, we also share best practice on a regular basis throughout the school year.
Guidance for parents
As a school, we feel very strongly that your child is safest if they do not have any social media accounts. However, if you choose to allow your child to have access to any social media platform, we advise you use the following as a guidance for your child’s safety. We have downloaded this information from the Internet Matters website to assist you at home with ensuring your child makes good choices and uses the internet safely. If you would like more help or guidance with this, please do not hesitate to contact CCJ or Internet Matters directly.
