Computing

Our curriculum is designed to allow our children to understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. It provides children with opportunities to analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems.

Children learn to evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems.

Children are taught to be responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
