Computing
Vision:
"Technology empowers young minds to explore, create and transform ideas into reality. In the world of computing, every click is a step towards innovation and every code written opens doors to endless possibilities." - Bill Gates
At Cheriton Primary School, we envision a future where our pupils transcend mere competence to become enthusiastic and adept navigators of the digital landscape. In our ever-evolving technological world, we recognise the urgency of preparing our children for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Our dedicated computing curriculum is meticulously crafted to instil in them a profound appreciation for the potential of current and future technologies.
Our overarching goal is to empower pupils to refine their computational thinking skills, transforming them into confident, analytical and engaged learners. Through our curriculum, technology integrates into their cross-curricular exploration, fostering a holistic understanding of its applications. Acknowledging the dual nature of technology, our pupils evolve into analytical internet users, discerning the advantages and disadvantages as they navigate the digital realm independently.
As a school, we have a long-term commitment to harness developments in technology to maximise support for our pupils and creating an environment where they adapt and thrive to technological advancements. Cheriton Primary School is dedicated to nurturing a generation that not only meets the demands of the digital age but shaping its future, ensuring that every child emerges not just as a proficient computing user but as an enthusiastic and empowered digital citizen ready for the challenges of the 21st century.
