Where we learn to publish, code, process and stay safe

At Sandal Castle (VA) Community Primary School, we understand and value the importance of teaching computing from a young age, within an ever-changing and technological world. Computing continues to evolve very quickly and has now become firmly entrenched in many aspects of everyday life, both at home and in the workplace. As Computing underpins today’s modern lifestyle, it is essential that all pupils gain the confidence and capability that they need in this subject to prepare them for the challenge of a rapidly developing and challenging technological world.

Pupils are encouraged to develop a confident and safe approach to the use of ICT with the understanding of the capabilities and flexibility of their resources. With the knowledge that ICT will undoubtedly continue to form a major part in the children’s life at home, in further education and places of work, we ensure the ICT experiences and abilities that the children are equipped with at Sandal Castle (VA) Community Primary School, are effective and transferrable life skills.

With this in mind, the current curriculum provision for ICT ensures that children’s learning is supported with modern technology and skills and offers areas of age related expectation of skills and application.
