Our Computing curriculum is based on the National Curriculum. At Christ Church, we consider it essential that all our children gain the knowledge, confidence, and ability to prepare them for the challenges of a rapidly developing and changing technological world. We recognise the vital role of technology in supporting and inspiring learning across the curriculum, as well as in improving day-to-day administration and communication.
Our intent is for all children to flourish with confidence and competence when using a range of ICT resources and applications to solve problems for a variety of purposes. We aim to develop a Computing curriculum with learning embedded across the curriculum and discrete learning of skills where appropriate. We want our children to grow not only in their technical abilities but also in their resilience, learning to persevere when faced with digital challenges.
We believe that technology should be used with kindness and respect, fostering a community where digital interactions reflect our core values. Our goal is for children and staff to have access to a range of quality, maintained ICT resources, including new and emerging technologies. We also aim for children, parents, and staff to understand how to stay safe when using technology and to use it appropriately and responsibly.
All staff are encouraged to continually improve and develop their ICT skills, taking a shared responsibility for developing ICT and promoting E-safety. We also strive to use ICT to promote strong links with parents, governors, and the wider community, supporting an environment where everyone can flourish, learn, and connect with confidence, integrity and respect for both themselves and others.
