ICT
Information Technology (IT) and Computing
IT is used to enrich and extend learning throughout the curriculum. All learning is linked to class topics and is developed through: digital literacy - using IT to find, check and share information; digital skills - controlling and programming simulations and models, creating presentations and collecting and analysing data; e-safety - using and sharing information safely and legally; technology in the world; and technical understanding. We have invested in the Rising Stars scheme which encourages pupils to use IT in real roles such as game designers and architects whilst using up to date tools such as Scratch and Sketch-up. All classes have interactive whiteboards and banks of five computers and from Year 3 upwards children are taught keyboard typing skills
