At Lugwardine, we understand the importance of high quality computing education that equips our pupils with the skills needed to become digitally literate.
Computational thinking is key to ensuring that all pupils are able to participate effectively and safely in the digital world. High quality computing education paves the pathway to a world of innovation and creativity, with deep links in mathematics, science, design and technology, and much more.
Each unit of our computing curriculum is separated into different units for coverage of the 2014 National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 and 2.
Our extensive coverage means that all pupils will have access to a wide range of computing hardware and software that will equip them with the skills needed to construct computer programs, 3D drawings, presentations, develop games, animations, short films and publish documents using a printer.
The importance of online safety is emphasised each year with lessons on safe searching, understanding social media (how to keep your information safe), using reputable sources and the benefits of disconnecting. Parent workshops are provided to help us create an environment where pupils are educated and able to make informed decisions with the support and guidance of those who care for them.
