ICT & Computing
ICT and Computing at Antrobus St Marks
At Antrobus St Marks primary we follow the programme Teach computing for years 1-6.
Our aim is for children to be digitally literate, confident and frequent users of a wide range of Computing technology, so they can
see coding challenges as exciting,
enjoy exploring new applications for their learning,
collaborate in their learning and develop resilience as they work towards a desired outcome
use Computing skills effectively to facilitate learning across the wider curriculum
We use the structure from the National Computing Hub to organise the learning and ensure curriculum coverage and progression. The Computing Hub updates the schemes of work very regularly, making sure that innovation and current practice in an ever changing world are reflected in teaching.
We have new update equipment which includes ipads and laptops which are accessible for all children during computing lessons and any other lessons throughout the school day. Children in reception and nursery also have access to Beebots.
ICT and Computing at Great Budworth C of E Primary
The use of information and communication technology is an integral part of the national curriculum and is a key skill for everyday life. Computers, programmable robots and iPads are the tools that can be used to manipulate, interpret, communicate and present information.
We aim to enable all children to reach their full potential through a love of learning. We believe that through the activities we offer children, they can develop the skills they need to live, work and play in today’s world.
Great Budworth believes that ICT and computing:
Gives pupils immediate access to a rich source of materials.
Can present information in new ways which help pupils understand access and use it more readily.
Can motivate and enthuse pupils.
Can help pupils focus and concentrate.
Offers potential for effective group working.
