Technology is changing the lives of everyone. Our Computing curriculum equips children to participate in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology. It is our intention to enable children to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information. We also focus on providing creative opportunities and experiences so we can develop the skills necessary for children to be able to use information in a discriminating and effective way. We want pupils to know, remember and understand more in computing so that they leave primary school computer literate. We teach skills explicitly within computing and encourage them to be applied across other curriculum subjects, enabling children to be confident, creative and independent learners. As well as the benefits of computing we are also aware of the risks. We prepare our children to stay safe online through the use of e-safety awareness sessions and safer internet days.
