Computing

At Woodchurch C of E, we aim to be digital leaders. Technology is central to living and participating in the modern world we live in and through teaching Computing, we can equip children to fully engage in this rapidly changing world. We believe that an engaging Computing curriculum will enable our pupils to use computational thinking and creativity which will impact on their own community and the wider world. They will become digitally literate – able to use, express themselves and develop ideas through information and communication technology confidently. They will develop their awareness of online safety and their understanding of how to use technology in a safe way. We will support them in developing into responsible and competent digital citizens.

How we teach it

Using a bespoke curriculum tailored for our setting, our pupils are involved in highly engaging and interesting lessons that cover the three core strands of the Computing curriculum. With opportunities for both ‘plugged’ and ‘unplugged’ learning woven throughout, the children get to explore far more than what has been possible before. Thanks in part to our work with MerseyGrid Limited (MGL), we have access to a number of advanced resources to further enrich our computing curriculum, such as VR Headsets, the latest in children’s robotics and a variety of modern, up to date devices.
