Computing

What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It is the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.” – Steve Jobs

Computing is about more than just computers. It gives users the opportunity to be creative and to draw links from maths, science, art and design technology. Our Computing delivery enables children to learn how digital systems work and how to change content through programming. Children are encouraged to develop their computational thinking skills through planning, testing and de-bugging systems. We want to fully equip them with the skills, knowledge and understanding to be digitally literate and technologically capable in their future workplace.​

E-Safety

At the start of each term and throughout each Computing unit, teachers deliver key e-safety messages to their class. This helps our children to become more informed online users. They are better equipped to deal with incidents (should they arise) they understand what is acceptable and non-acceptable online behaviour and know who their trusted adults are in the home and at school.

Below are some useful links that offer further guidance for parents on how to promote e-safety at home for all of the family.
