Computing
At Littleton C of E Nursery and Infant School, we aim to provide a stimulating, high-quality computing curriculum that equips children with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Technology plays an important role in everyday life, and we believe that developing strong computing skills helps children become confident, creative, resilient and independent learners.
Through engaging and practical lessons, children develop an understanding of how technology works and how it can be used safely, effectively and responsibly. We teach children the foundations of computational thinking, enabling them to solve problems, think logically and develop the skills needed to participate successfully in a rapidly changing technological society.
Our computing curriculum provides children with opportunities to explore how computers and digital systems work, create and debug simple programs, and use technology to communicate, create and share information. Alongside these technical skills, we place a strong emphasis on online safety, helping children become responsible, respectful and informed digital citizens who can use technology with confidence and independence.
By the time children leave Littleton, they will have developed knowledge and skills across the three key areas of computing:
· Computer Science – understanding how digital systems work and learning the foundations of programming.
· Information Technology – using technology to create, organise, store and communicate information.
· Digital Literacy – using technology safely, responsibly and respectfully while evaluating digital content.
We want every child to leave Littleton with a secure understanding of computing, a positive attitude towards technology and the confidence to use digital tools safely, creatively and effectively in their future learning and beyond.
