Computing

In Computing, we develop children’s understanding of information technology, computer science and digital literacy and its role in a global world.

What computing looks like at Staverton:

• Children will take part in a range of activities, covering IT (use of technology), computer science (understanding coding and programming), and digital literacy (how to behave online)
• Some activities will be ‘unplugged’, meaning they do not require use of any technology, and others will utilise technology, including iPads and the school Chromebooks
• We use Purple Mash scheme of work to support our delivery of the computing curriculum.
• As a whole school, we celebrate Safer Internet Day.

We are experts in computing because:

• We are able to use technology creatively, responsibly and confidently.
• We logically work through a given task efficiently, and reflect on how you could have approached the problem differently.
• We have a good awareness of how to stay safe online, and a knowledge of what to do if you feel unsafe when using the internet.
