Computing

In Computing, we develop children's understanding of information technology, computer science and digital literacy, and their role in a global world.

Our approach

Computing at Staverton is learned by doing. Children work through tasks and activities that build an understanding of how technology works as well as how to use it.

What we cover

‍Children take part in a range of activities covering IT (using technology), computer science (understanding coding and programming), and digital literacy (how to behave safely and responsibly online).

Plugged and unplugged learning

‍Some activities are "unplugged," meaning they don't require any technology at all, while others make use of technology, including iPads and the school's Chromebooks.

Purple Mash and Safer Internet Day

We use the Purple Mash scheme of work to support our delivery of the computing curriculum. As a whole school, we celebrate Safer Internet Day every year.

This is what it means to be a confident, safe user of technology at Staverton

"We use technology creatively, responsibly and confidently."
"We work logically and efficiently through a task, and reflect on how we could have approached it differently."
"We know how to stay safe online, and what to do if we ever feel unsafe using the internet."
