Computing

Vision Statement

To ensure that all students and staff feel confident when using a range of Computing resources, whilst showing enjoyment and progression that is consistent across year groups. 

A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

At Chalkwell Hall Junior School we want our children to grow up with the skills to use technology safely, logically and reasonably; to have the life skills that enable them to use it confidently but appropriately.
