Computing

Computing Intent:

Through our computing curriculum at Oakridge we aim to give our pupils the life-skills that will enable them to embrace and utilise new technology in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology. We want our pupils to be able to use computational thinking and creativity whilst also understanding the importance of keeping themselves safe.  We want the use of technology to support learning across the entire curriculum and to ensure that our curriculum is accessible to every child.  Not only do we want them to be digitally literate and competent end-users of technology, but it is our intention to enable the children to develop creativity, resilience and problem-solving and critical thinking skills.  We want our pupils to develop their understanding of themselves as individuals within their community but also as members of a wider global community and as responsible digital citizens.
