Computing

All pupils at Hillside Primary School have the right to have rich, deep learning experiences that balance all the aspects of computing. With technology playing such a significant role in society today, we believe ‘Computational Thinking’ is a skill children must be taught if they are able to participate effectively and safely in this digital world. A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. We need to prepare our students to become adults in a world where technology is becoming increasingly important At Hillside Primary School, the core of computing is Computing Science in which pupils are introduced to a wide range of technology, including laptops, iPads, PCs and interactive whiteboards and a range of digital devices, allowing them to continually practise and improve the skills they learn. This ensures they become digitally literate so that they are able to express themselves and develop their ideas through information and computer technology- at a level suitable for the future workplace as active participates in a digital world.
