Computing

Growing, achieving and flourishing together in mind body and spirit.

At St George’s pupils will have the opportunity to learn a large variety of computing skills whilst using a range of resources such as laptops and Beebots, in order to equip them with the necessary competence for a technological world. Most of us depend and rely on technology, as computers are now an integral part to everyday life, therefore, it is vital that children are readied and prepared to join in with this rapidly evolving digital world. 

Curiosity, being one of our values we promote at St Georges, is at the core of our ICT curriculum. We teach our children how computers work, how programmes are written, and how video games are coded. This knowledge and understanding can open up a multitude of paths to careers in computing.

E-safety

The internet and other digital and information technologies are powerful tools, which open up new opportunities for everyone. Electronic communication helps teachers and children learn from each other. These technologies can stimulate discussion, promote creativity and increase awareness of context to promote effective learning. Children and young people should have an entitlement to safe internet access at all times.

Parents / Carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet/ mobile devices in an appropriate way. Research shows that many parents and carers do not fully understand the issues and are less experienced in the use of ICT than their children. Through the year we provide information to help parents understand these issues.
