Computing Vision

As computing is an increasing part of life today, it is essential that all children gain the confidence and ability that they need in this subject, to prepare them for the challenge of a rapidly developing and changing technological world. We want to prepare our children to not only be able to use technology successfully but also to understand how it works. Our computing curriculum enables them to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information. We also focus on developing the skills necessary for children to be able to use information in a discriminating and effective and safe way. Computing skills are a major factor in enabling children to be confident, creative and independent learners.

Computing is an area I have always had a strong interest in.  Having followed the subject as a specialism alongside my Primary Education Degree, I discovered how much computing plays a role in both children’s lives and their education at school in today’s world.  Children are growing up in a far more digitally advanced world than previous generations have ever experienced, and they need to be well-equipped with knowledge that will prepare them for the adult world. 

It is so important that children are taught to be responsible users of technology and can access learning that will take them through their lives.
