Computing

What is Computing? Computing is the new ICT and can be divided into 3 areas: Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy (which includes eSafety). We have then categorised the aims for the new computing curriculum as identified in the Programme of Study.

Along side the dedicated computing units per academic year, we also have a fabulous IT suite containing 32 computers allowing for each child to work independently. 

Because there is now less content in the Computing curriculum, children should have more opportunities to use technology to support their learning in literacy, maths, and all the other areas of the school curriculum as well as a rigid E-safety policy ensuring delivery of online safety.
