understand the importance that every child will understand how to be safe online and will develop the skills to feel empowered to feel safe into the future. We believe that computational thinking is vital in helping children to solve problems, design systems, and understand the power and limitations of human and computing intelligence. Pupils who can think computationally are better able to conceptualise, understand and use computer-based technology, and so are better prepared for today’s world and future.
We make every effort to develop meaningful links between subjects, often taught within a cross-curricular context, in creative and imaginative ways.
We endeavour to support each child to . Pupils will be equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content.
