Computing Curriculum Vision:
At St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School, we value the contribution that technology can make for the benefit of all pupils, staff, parents and governors. We aim to provide safe and enjoyable opportunities to use technology and for this to motivate and inspire pupils as well as raising standards across the curriculum. We hope for our children to become lifelong learners who are equipped with the knowledge and skills required for the demands of an ever- changing world of technology.
Intent
At St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, we understand the immense value that technology plays not only in supporting the Computing and whole school curriculum but overall in the day-to-day life of our school. Our aims are to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for Computing whilst also providing enhanced collaborative learning opportunities, engagement in rich content and supporting pupil’s conceptual understanding of new concepts.
