We live in a technologically-rich age and computers are now an integral part of our life. Working within the 2014 National Curriculum, ICT has become Computing with the emphasis now more on how computers and computer systems work, and how they are programmed.

Although there have been changes, Computing is still an exciting creative subject able to motivate and enthuse pupils. It can enhance other areas of the curriculum and allows pupils to work on a wide range of skills, from resilience and reasoning to creativity. In this rapidly evolving subject, we aim to give pupils the capability to utilise resources available to them in a considered and safe way.
