ICT

Our Computing teaching offers opportunities for children to:

Understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data presentation.
Analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems.
Evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems.
Be responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.

The children have access to iPads, Chromebooks and the ICT suite.

In school, we use Rising Stars to help us deliver our computing curriculum as well as completing other work across the curriculum.

The children also have the opportunity to complete word processing activities using Microsoft Office. Children are also able to complete these activities at home by logging on to the Google Drive using a class log in.

An integral part of our Computing curriculum is Online Safety. We cover this through the year and celebrate national Safer Internet Day in February every year.
