Computing is an integral part of our curriculum, with a strong emphasis on equipping our students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in today's digital age. We recognize the importance of teaching computing skills separately from other subjects to ensure our students develop a well-rounded understanding of computer science, information technology, and digital literacy. Our students are exposed to a wide range of computing skills through an engaging and challenging programme that covers topics such as coding, spreadsheets, touch typing, emailing, databases, simulations, and presentations.
At our school, we place great emphasis on e-safety, and this is integrated throughout our computing curriculum. We recognize that the internet can be a wonderful resource, but it also presents risks, and it is our responsibility to ensure that our students are well-equipped to navigate these risks safely. Our e-safety lessons are tailored to different age groups and cover a range of topics, including cyberbullying, online privacy, and the safe and responsible use of the internet.
We believe that computing is an essential tool for success in the modern world, and we must ensure that our students are equipped with the necessary skills and understanding to navigate the increasingly technological world around them.
