A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.
National Curriculum 2013
Computing at The Batt
Exploration:
Pupils will enjoy exploring different forms of technology. They will safely build knowledge, understanding and skills of the workings within technology.
Co-operation:
Pupils at The Batt will work in collaboration within the schools e-safety contract. Children will also work together positively and respectfully when learning and exploring technology.
Communication:
Children will expand their communicative skills safely through different forms of communication and be able to verbalise these.
Innovation:
Children will be innovative when making connections between the workings of technology and use this to become problem solvers.
We use support and resources from Teach Computing, designed by the National Centre for Computing Education, to support our teaching of computing in school.
