At Wellesbourne CE Primary School, we believe that the children should be equipped to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has become an integral part of our everyday life and will play an immeasurable part in our children’s futures, therefore it is vital that we provide all our children with the skills, creativity and enthusiasm to live and thrive in a world increasingly dependent on computing. The children have many opportunities to use technology, through learning the basic IT skills, such as word processing and paint, to rapidly moving on to creating their own computer programs. The children are able to experiment with code through a range of different technology, such as turtles, Lego WeDo and Spheros so that they are learning to code and debug their programs effectively.
However, at the heart of our computing curriculum, we strive to provide children with the knowledge and skills needed to become digitally literate through a comprehensive E-safety curriculum where children are able to use, and express themselves through information technology safely.
