St Peter's CE School

‘Invite, Include, Imagine, Inspire’ Our values this term are 'Thankfulness' Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances. Article 24 You have the right to the best health care possible, safe water to drink, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help you stay well.

Computing

Computing intent:

At St Peter's, we follow the National Curriculum for computing. With technology playing such a significant role in society today, we believe ‘Computational thinking’ is a skill children must be taught if they are to be able to participate effectively and safely in this digital world. A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems.
