Having a real understanding of computing is a vital skill in the modern world.  The changing nature of technology and its increasing role in our lives means that understanding systems and coding is more important than it has ever been.  Additionally, the online world poses greater risks as well as a range of opportunities which we all need to be aware of.

At Billesley Primary School we aspire for all of our pupils to become respectful, safe and effective users of technology.  Adapting lessons from the Teach Computing curriculum has allowed staff and pupils to become confident creating content using a variety of programs and applications; understanding the way that systems and networks function; and understanding and using coding. Additionally we invest in the technology our children use: chromebooks, tablets, floor robots, data loggers.  This exposes them to the different ways that technology functions and allows them to become more adaptable in their use of it.

E-safety is a vital component of our computing curriculum and we teach this weekly to ensure that children are equipped to keep themselves safe in their online worlds as well as their physical ones.  The curriculum is regularly updated to reflect the ever evolving nature of technology and teachers are confident in creating bespoke lessons that address problems that arise with their classes.
