Computing
‘A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.’
National Curriculum 2014
Computing is an integral part of our everyday life and will play an immeasurable part in our children’s futures. At Burlington Infant School, we will provide all of our children with the skills, creativity and enthusiasm to live and thrive in a world increasingly dependent on computing. As computing technology underpins today’s modern lifestyle it is essential that all pupils gain the confidence and ability that they need in this subject, to prepare them for the challenge of a rapidly developing and changing technological world.
The use of Computing also enhances and extends our children’s learning across the whole curriculum whilst contributing to their language and vocabulary, their motivation and the development of social skills. Each child will be able to access the Internet and use the World Wide Web in a safe and respectful way. They will understand the necessary precautions to take, to stay safe and know where to seek help. No child will feel threatened or unsafe whilst online at school. Children will also utilise the internet efficiently to enhance their learning of all subjects. The school will provide a rich bank of curriculum-based resources for children and parents and carers to access at home.
