Computing

Our Computing Champion - Codebreaker Caleb

Computing is such an important life skill.

 

Technology is part of everyday life and for most of us, is essential to our lives at home and at work.  At Cawston Grange Primary School, we learn vital Computing skills and knowledge as well as ensuring technology is woven throughout the curriculum.

 

The aims of the Computing Curriculum are to prepare the future generations with the necessary skills to adapt to adult life and employment within the ever-changing technological environment we live in. Therefore, here at Cawston Grange Primary School, we have ensured our Computing curriculum provides opportunities where children:

 

•  understand the ethical guidelines and implications  of using the internet safely;   valuing their own identity, consent and citizenship,

•  actively support each other in challenging problem solving situations   where design, programming and construction is required,

•  appreciate, question and respect advances in technology to enable them to reflect  on experiences when learning about the world around them.

 

Pupils are encouraged to be curious about what might be possible.
