Computing
At Cranbrook Primary School, our aim is to provide a high-quality, engaging and memorable computing education which equips all our pupils for future jobs (and those not thought of yet) in a high demand and niche sector. Our curriculum will teach and build on critical thinking skills based on coding and algorithms using different software and hardware. Computing is embedded across the curriculum within context to support and extend our pupil’s knowledge and passion for the subject. Opportunities are created to collect data and gather research information within the topics taught. Through this they will gain a better understanding about the world around them and develop the concept of global citizenship through empathy and aspirations (widening horizons). Pupils will use various applications/programs to display and present their findings - supporting them to become more competent and confident communicators. They will learn how to safely engage with online content, discerning between reliable and unreliable sources. They will also understand what to do and who to talk to if they feel uncomfortable, or unsafe online.
