Technology is changing the lives of everyone. Through teaching Computing, Clearwell C of E Primary School equips children to participate in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology. It is our intention to enable children to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information. We also focus on developing the skills necessary for children to be able to use information in a discriminating and effective way.
Computing skills are a major factor in enabling children to be confident, creative and independent learners, and it is our intention that children have every opportunity available to allow them to achieve this.
In Key Stage 1, children will have been given a solid grounding in the basics of computing, including understanding algorithms, creating simple programs and learning how to stay safe online.
In Key Stage 2, children will build on these skills and extend their mastery of computers as both users and creators. The computing curriculum aims to make children technologically competent, teaching them concepts (how to predict and analyse results, how to break a problem down into parts, how to spot and use similarities and how to evaluate) and approaches which help them problem-solve.
