Technology has made revolutionary changes to our lives. It is an essential part of our lives today and serves many purposes in many of the most important aspects of modern society. Through teaching computing, we equip our children with the knowledge and skills needed to participate safely and effectively in this digital world. Pupils are introduced to a wide range of technology to ensure that they are digitally literate and able to express their ideas through information and computer technology. Pupils are equipped with computational skills and problem-solving abilities to use their creativity to understand and change the world.

Every half term, the children start a new topic and learn new topic vocabulary that helps them to use the technology in that lesson. This includes, ipads, laptops, micro-bits, bee-bots and Lego robotics. Using a wide range of resources enhances learning, instils computational thinking, attention to detail, collaboration and problem-solving.

We aim for our children to be aware of online safety throughout their education, and recognise that being educated and aware of the dangers online is the best prevention policy. We ensure Online Safety is threaded throughout the curriculum, in all areas of learning, to develop children’s awareness of keeping safe, and best strategies to deal with difficulties as they occur.
