Computing
We believe that computing is an essential subject that plays a crucial role in preparing our pupils for a successful future in the modern digital age. Our computing curriculum is designed to provide pupils with the knowledge, skills, and understanding they need to become confident and competent users of technology, as well as to inspire and empower them to become creative and critical thinkers in the digital world.
Our intent is threefold:
1. To ensure that our pupils have a strong foundation in the fundamentals of computing, including computer science, information technology, and digital literacy. This includes teaching pupils to code and program using a range of platforms, as well as providing opportunities for them to develop their digital creativity through activities such as animation and video production.
2. To foster a love of learning in computing, and to encourage pupils to become independent and self-motivated learners. This includes providing a range of challenging and engaging activities that enable pupils to build on their existing knowledge and skills, and to explore their own interests and passions in the digital world.
3. To develop our pupils' understanding of the wider implications of technology in society, and to promote responsible and ethical use of technology. This includes teaching pupils about e-safety and cyber security, as well as encouraging them to think critically about the impact of technology on individuals, communities, and the wider world.
Through our computing curriculum, we aim to equip our pupils with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a rapidly changing digital landscape, and to inspire them to become lifelong learners and responsible digital citizens.
We follow the NCCE (National Centre for Computing Education) scheme of work.
