John and Monica Catholic Primary School" --- # Online Safety ### Online Safety Online safety is an integral part of children’s education in today’s digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. We also want to help our parents and children improve their understanding of online safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media safely and securely. Online safety is essential to keeping children safe at SS John & Monica Catholic Primary School. All our computers and email systems are monitored within the school network to ensure our children stay safe online. The school's Internet connection is filtered and protected using the most up-to-date technologies to help ensure that we provide quality access to the Internet to enhance learning. Any Online Safety incidents are recorded and managed. Online safety is taught to all pupils, and the students are taught how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. ### Online Safety Overview Acceptable Use Policy 554 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Acceptable_Use_Policy_(AUP)_2026-27_final.pdf) Online Safety Curriculum Overview 123 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Online_Safety-_Curriculum_Overview.pdf) We can only keep children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the online safety message is consistent. Parents must speak to their children about staying safe and behaving appropriately online. It’s essential to be realistic - banning the internet or technology will not work and often makes a child less likely to report a problem. Education around safe use is essential. SS John and Monica's is committed to providing a safe and secure online environment for all pupils. We use robust filtering and monitoring systems to manage access to online content and to identify any potential safeguarding concerns. These systems help protect pupils from harmful or inappropriate material while supporting effective teaching and learning. We also recognise the emerging risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI), including exposure to misleading information, inappropriate content, and misuse of AI tools. As part of our online safety provision, we educate pupils about responsible and safe use of technology, including AI. Any concerns relating to online safety can be reported promptly to a member of staff, the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), or through established school reporting systems. We encourage pupils, parents, and staff to remain vigilant and to report concerns so they can be addressed quickly and effectively. If you have any concerns or worries about your child and online safety and would like further advice, please get in touch with your child’s class teacher via their class email or the school’s ICT support email: **ict@stjonmon.bham.sch.uk** ### Online Safety Resources Online Safety & Digital Responsibility Whole School Overview 115 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Online_Safety_-_Digital_Responsibility_Overview_2026.pdf) NSPCC Speak Out Stay Safe Letter 412 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/speak-out-stay-safe-letter.pdf) Speak Out Stay Safe Letter Conversation Starters 520 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/2%29_Conversation_Starters.pdf) Family Activities 3.40 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/3%29_Family_Activities.pdf) Family Online Safety Plan 438 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/4%29_Family_Online_Safety_Plan.pdf) Organisations and Resources for Parents and Carers 1.16 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ss-john-and-moncia-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/5%29_Organisations_and_Resources_for_Parents_and_Carers.pdf) ### Parents - [Term Dates](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/termdates) - [Letters](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/school-life/recent-letters) - [School Hours ](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/school-hours-updated) - [School Uniform](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/school-uniform) - [Communication](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/communication) - [General Parent Information](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/general-parent-information) - [Attendance and Punctuality](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/attendance-and-punctuality) - [Positive Relationships and Behaviour](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/discipline-and-behaviour) - [Homework ](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/family-life-homework-extra-curricular) - [Online Safety](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/online-safety) - [Parents and Families](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/parents-and-families) - [Family Support and Early Help](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/family-support-and-early-help) - [School Meals](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/school-meals) - [Breakfast Club](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/breakfast-club) - [After-School Clubs](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/after-school-clubs) - [Medical Information](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/medical-information) - [Mental Health and Well-Being](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/mental-health-and-well-being) - [Educational Visits](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/educational-visits) - [Secondary Transfer ](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/secondary-transfer-complaints) - [Security & Parking](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/security-parking) - [School Travel Plan](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/school-travel-plan) - [School Fund and Fundraising](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/school-fund-and-fundraising) - [School Council](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/school-council) - [Useful web links](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/useful-web-links) - [Financial Benchmarking](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/key-information/financial-benchmarking) - [Additional Policies](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/parents/additional-policies) **SS.
