Computing Intent Statement
Through our computing curriculum we aim to give our pupils the life-skills that will enable them to embrace and utilise new technology in a socially responsible and safe way. Through our teaching of computing we aim to equip our pupils to participate in an ever changing and advancing technological world. We believe that Computing skills are a major factor in enabling children to be confident and independent learners and it is our intention that every child is given the best opportunities to allow them to achieve this.
