St John's Church of England School

When planning and teaching at St John’s, we believe that Computing is an essential part of the curriculum. Computing is involved in a significant part of daily life
and children should be at the forefront of new technology, with a thirst for learning
new skills and technologies.

Computing lessons within our school provide a wealth of learning opportunities and transferrable skills explicitly within the Computing lesson, as well as across other curriculum subjects. Through the study of Computing, children will be able to develop a wide range of ffundamental skills, knowledge and understanding that will equip them for the rest of their lives. Computers and technology are such an integral part of everyday life that our children would be at a disadvantage if not be exposed to a thorough and robust Computing curriculum. Children must be taught in the form of ‘Computational Thinking’ in order to provide them essential
knowledge that will enable them to participate effectively and safely in the
digital world beyond our gates
