- Pupils will use various software to develop literacy & mathematical skills as well as to develop a scientific approach to analyse data and question authenticity.
- Pupils will learn how to develop their own designs and creative outlets.
- Pupils will learn how to navigate themselves around different systems and make connections on different platforms to facilitate their learning and support their understanding of computing.
- Pupils will learn how to work safely on the Internet and will learn how to communicate appropriately with different audiences.
Pupils will develop their skills in these different areas as they move through the school. They will be encouraged to question how ideas are developed and how they can be improved. To look for emerging patterns and use various software to solve problems and develop their own creativity.
Many of our school platforms are accessible via secure logins, where parents and pupils are encouraged to access and use as part of our home learning approach to deepen learning.
