The school has invested heavily in its wireless infrastructure to harness the use of brand new technologies enabling adults to provide a digital environment, rich in hardware which builds upon and extends a varied curriculum.
Computing is taught at both Key Stages. These include building on skills of control and logical processing, understanding and programming for a purpose and using technology to store and manipulate information. Children engage in both real and virtual examples of these skills and a conscious effort is maintained for learners to understand the importance of these processes in a real life context.
E-Safety is of upmost importance. Safety online, and with the use of technology is inherent across all areas of the curriculum, where special attention is required to safeguard the health and safety of all individuals. Policy and procedures are followed in any instances where there may be a conflict of safety and preventative measures are in place at all times, including filtering and monitoring.
Technology is as standard as pen and paper, chalk and chalkboard, and supports all areas of teaching and learning.
