Intent

At St Bartholomew’s our aspiration is for the children to be ready for the computing they will have to do in their next stage of learning and then later on in their workplace. Our aim is to fulfil the National Curriculum for Computing and for children to be confident, effective users of technology who can:

• understand and apply the essential principles of Computer Science, including logic, algorithms and data representation.
• use this understanding of Computer Science to think about tasks in computational terms; and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to complete such tasks.
• can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, to solve problems and complete tasks.
• be responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.

At St Bartholomew’s we recognise the importance of being responsible and safe online; children are taught:

• how to use the internet positively (including social media).
• how to leave a positive digital footprint and why this is important as they grow up.
• what to do if they are uncomfortable with any online behaviour or material they see.
