Computing

At Seamer and Irton CP School, we believe that ‘a high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world’. We want our pupils to become confident and competent users of a range of computing technologies. Our intention is that our computing curriculum supports children’s creativity, resilience, critical thinking skills and cross-curricular learning so children are engaged, and their experiences enriched. By the time our pupils leave Seamer and Irton CP school, we want them to be able to confidently choose the best technology to fulfil a task.

In addition, alongside the schools robust PSHE curriculum framework, our learners will be aware of responsible internet usage and how to keep themselves safe online.

Finally, we want our pupils to be clear about future opportunities available through studying computing and we wish to empower our pupils with the understanding that computing is accessible to all regardless of gender, socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds and the range of characteristics represented within equality legislation. Our intention is that this will be achieved through storytelling, exposure to computing role models from a range of disciplines and from visitors linked to our local community in computing related roles.
