Information Technology

We want to prepare our pupils for the future in a world of new and evolving technologies.

Our aim is to ensure that every pupil has the ability to code using a range of programs, making them secondary school ready and even consider a career in tech-driven industries such as software programming, web design and computer programming.

We are committed to providing the relevant skills and understanding to be successful in computer science at all ages regardless of academic ability or background. Our computing curriculum embeds coding skills, requiring pupils to problem-solve through practical skills in a safe and secure environment. Pupils understand how to stay safe online whilst using technologies both at home and school, and understand the basic functions of a computer.

Examples of software that is free to download at home include:

Raspberry Pi	Kodu	Scratch 2
