What are the aims of our Computing curriculum?
At Tottington Primary School we are passionate about promoting high standards of computing and ICT. Our intent is that children should master Computing to such an extent that they can go on to have careers within Computing and make use of Computing and ICT effectively in their everyday lives, without being completely reliant on technology.
Our children will be taught to use technology responsibly and carefully, being mindful of how their behaviour, words and actions can affect others.
Our children will be taught Computing and ICT in a way that ensures progression of skills and follows a sequence to build on previous learning.
Children will gain experience and skills of a wide range of technology in a way that will enhance their learning opportunities, enabling them to use technology across a range of subjects to be creative and solve problems, ensuring they make progress. We aim to ensure our pupils are well rounded citizens of our local community and the wider world.
At TPS, we have a broad and balanced Computing and ICT curriculum that builds on previous learning and provides both support and challenge for learners. It allows our children to acquire the vital knowledge and skills required for the next stage of their learning journey and for adulthood. These enable the children of Tottington Primary School to become successful, active and positive members of their local community and wider world.
