Computing

Computing is a foundation subject in the National Curriculum and is taught in all classes, supported by relevant educational software and hardware, targeted educational visitors an experiences beyond the classroom. We strive to bring computing to life; and to relate it to the life experiences of the pupils in our school.

Please find attached our computing statement; and the end points in computing, which we use to assess pupils' progress and attainment, at key points in their education. The End Points also help us to provide relevant next steps for all pupils.

Online safety is a key component of computing and is taught to all children at St. Mary's.  However, we recognise online safety needs to be supported at home too because children have access to a wealth of digital devices beyond the classroom.  To help with this, we have a dedicated online safety page on our website, which can be found here.
