Computing - Enabling us to solve problems, develop resilience and think differently.
At Victoria Primary School, we understand that computing and ICT will play a significant role in the lives of our children at home, in the next stage of their education and in their workplace. As a result, we ensure their experiences and opportunities are developing knowledge and building abilities that are both transferrable and effective life skills.
We work to help all our children to understand that computational thinking and programming skills help them to understand both the natural and digital systems in the world around them. We provide opportunities for children to use a range of technology safely and confidently and to express themselves and be active participants in the digital world. Computing is integrated into everyday teaching and learning to engage, inspire and record our bespoke curriculum at Victoria Primary School.
