Computing
“The technology you use impresses no one. The experience you create with it is everything.” Sean Gerety
At Hailey School, we aim to equip children with the logical and creative thinking skills required to become digitally literate. We encourage the children to be independent and confident learners who plan, design, create, program and evaluate information through ICT. The children are taught to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly, to recognise acceptable and unacceptable behaviour and learn how to report concerns about contact and content. These skills are taught in discrete sessions so that they can be applied across the curriculum, to enhance other subjects. Pupils use a range of technology to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information responsibly and creatively and are able to make informed judgements about when and where to use computing to the best effect.
A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.
