Computing Curriculum

All pupils at Whitley Village School have the right to have rich, deep learning experiences that balance all the aspects of computing. With technology playing such a significant role in society today, we believe ‘Computational thinking’ is a skill child must be taught if they are to be able to participate effectively and safely in this digital world. A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. At Whitley Village School, the core of computing is Computer Science in which pupils are introduced to a wide range of technology, including Chromebooks, iPads and data loggers, allowing them to continually practise and improve the skills they learn. This ensures they become digitally literate so that they are able to express themselves and develop their ideas through information and computer technology– at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.  We teach a curriculum that enables children to become effective users of technology who can:

Communicate ideas well by utilising appliances and devices throughout all areas of the curriculum.
