Computing

Children have a range of opportunities to develop their digital literacy and, computational thinking and creativity.

We do this by developing their skills in:

• Computer Science - where pupils are taught about how digital systems work, the principles of computation and how to put this into practice through programming. We do this using programs such as Scratch
• Information Technology, Multimedia and Word Processing - using programs such as Microsoft Office (Word, Publisher, PowerPoint etc.) and devices such as laptops and iPads to develop everyday skills.
• Digital Media - using computing software and hardware to create videos, music, art etc.
• Data Management - using programs such as Microsoft Excel to create spreadsheets, tables and graphs.
• Online Safety - making sure that the children develop their understanding of the digital world and what they need to do to be safe. We do this both in individual classes and as a whole school.
