INTENT

At Greenmeadow Primary School, we believe that confidence in Computing prepares the children for whatever technologies they will use in the future, as well as developing the deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology. Technology is all around us in our day to day lives and because of this, we want to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, responsibly and safely. A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing ensures that our pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

ONLINE SAFETY

We understand that in an ever-changing, digital world, e-safety is essential for all. As a school our 'Teach Computing' scheme of work, alongside our PSHE curriculum, ensures coverage of different areas of online safety as well as progression through the year groups.

The link below will take you to a useful online safety website. Thinkuknow aims to empower children and young people aged 5-17 to identify the risks they may face online and know where they can go for support.
