We strongly believe that
computing should be used to support the full range of the
curriculum, wherever it is beneficial, using technology to find,
explore, analyse, exchange and present information responsibly
and creatively.
Children learn how to employ technology to enable rapid access
to ideas and experiences from the internet. We subscribe to a
variety of learning platforms that enables individual teachers
to personalise the learning in their class and which act as a
resource bank for games, homework assignments and quizzes all of
which support learning in school.
Each class is equipped with a
minimum of; an interactive whiteboard, a digital camera and 6
laptops or desktop computers. A bank of 30 laptop
computers and 32 iPads are also available to be used by the
children across the school when needed. These are
used to support and evaluate a range of learning in all subjects
as well being used to deliver the core computing curriculum such
as programing and digital literacy.
Parents have access to a copy of the Acceptable Use Policy and are required to sign an agreement confirming their acceptance of the policy and giving permission for their child to make use of the internet in school. Children are also taught to use the internet responsibly and to stay safe whilst on line.
