Computing

At St George’s pupils will have the opportunity to learn a large variety of computing skills whilst using a myriad of resources such as laptops and Beebots, in order to equip them with the necessary competence for a technological world. Most of us depend and rely on technology, as computers are now an integral part to everyday life, therefore, it is vital that children are readied and prepared to join in with this rapidly evolving digital world.  

Curiosity, being one of our values we endure to promote in St Georges, is at the core of ICT as the curriculum will aim to teach children how computers work, how programmes are written, and even how video games are coded. This knowledge and understanding can open up a multitude of paths to careers in computing. 

The National Curriculum for Computing states that children should be able to “use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private”, which is ingrained into the teaching of e-safety in both the computing curriculum and the wider curriculum.
