Computing Intent

As technology grows and the digital age blooms, we feel that it is vital that we educate children to develop digital fluency. Our school strives to give pupils the skills they need to think, learn and grow in this ever-changing technological age.

With this in mind, we have developed three main aims that demonstrate the focus of our school.

We aim to deepen both staff’s and pupils’ knowledge of technology to enable them to become confident and competent ICT users who are prepared for the future.

Because

when striving for excellence, it is key for all pupils and staff to have the knowledge and skills which allow them to achieve their full potential. For our children, this will equip them for their future working lives.

We aim to use a variety of computing technology across all subjects to aid and support learning.

Because

we have found that the use of technology excites and engages children within other areas of the curriculum. By using a range of technology in a variety of different subjects, children are able to utilise the tools to help them to challenge and question the world around them.

We aim to ensure that all pupils have a good understanding of e-safety, ensuring they are respectful and caring members of the online community.

Because

the online community is continually growing and social networking sites have become more prevalent. Children need to be educated on how to be a responsible e-citizen, keeping both themselves and others safe.
