ICT & Computing

Important Information

In Computing the children are taught:

  • To become competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
  • Think logically, analyse and solve problems through the concepts of Computer Science.
  • To use technology purposefully to store, manipulate, create, organise and retrieve digital content.
  • To use technology safely and respectfully.

The New Curriculum aims to do this through three strands. Computer Science (CS) Information Technology (IT) and Digital Literacy (DL). Please see below for details.
