Computing
At New Scotland Hill Primary School and Nursery, we understand that technology is EVERYWHERE and that it is a pivotal part of our young people’s lives. As a result of this, we understand the need to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, responsibly and safely to ensure they become masters at using it rather than slaves to it. As teachers, we understand the difference between being creators or consumers of technology and therefore our broad curriculum reflects the teaching of computer science, information technology and digital literacy to help educate children to become creators rather than consumers. Teachers are encouraged to embed computing across the whole curriculum to make learning creative and accessible. We want our children to be fluent with a range of tools by the end of Key Stage 2 and have the knowledge and understanding of choosing the best tool to fulfil the task set by the teacher.
