Computing

"Humans are tool builders. We create things to amplify ourselves. The computer will rank at the top - it's the most awesome tool ever." - Steve Jobs 

Computing Is...

The ability to use technology safely, responsibly and positively. 

The computing curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation
  • can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems
  • can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems
  • are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology
