Computing
Why do we teach this? Why do we teach it in the way we do?
Through teaching Computing we intend to equip our children to participate in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology. Computing encompasses a whole range of interconnected disciplines required to help understand and change the world. We want all pupils at Tuel Lane to experience the enjoyment of Computing and to develop a sense of inquisitiveness about the subject. We acknowledge the importance of these skills being coupled with a clear understanding of digital literacy.
We aim for all pupils to:
- Become confident to find, explore, use and apply fundamental principles and concepts of computer sciences including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation
- Be able to confidently analyse and apply problem solving skills through engaging with relevant and enriching computer programs.
- Be able to evaluate new or unfamiliar information technology to solve problems and confidently appraise if it is fit for purpose. Linking computing to real-life scenarios to equip children with diagnostic skills is what we strive to achieve.
- Become responsible, competent and respectful users of information and communication technology.
At Tuel Lane, our aim is to implement this INTENT through quality first Teaching & Learning.
