computing

Vision statement and intent: 

Computing is an integral part of everyday life in Modern Britain - it will play an immeasurable part in our children’s futures. It is our intention at
Skelmanthorpe Academy to provide pupils with the ability to use computational thinking and creativity to understand the changing world. We
aim to use computing across the curriculum to motivate, inspire and raise pupil standards. Pupils will become literate in computing to ensure
they will become active participants in a digital world. 

Each child will become a responsible, competent, confident and creative user of
information and communication technology. They will be able to use the Internet 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 using the Internet at school or at
home. Children will also utilise the Internet efficiently to enhance their learning of all subjects. In the EYFS curriculum, computing come under
the area of learning ‘Understanding the World’. Children are taught to recognize that a range of technologies are used in the home and other
places.
