The study of computer science prepares pupils to participate in the digital world in which we work. Pupils regularly use ICT tools to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information responsibly, creatively and with discrimination as part of their daily lessons. They learn how to employ computing, and its fundamental principles, to enable rapid access to ideas, information and experiences from a range of sources, people, communities and cultures.  Increased capability in the use of computing promotes initiative and independent learning, with pupils being able to make informed judgements about when and where to use computing to best effect, and to consider its implications for home and work both now and in the future.  At All Saints’ CE Primary School we acknowledge that computing and e-learning makes a huge contribution to all aspects of school life, for pupils, staff, governors, parents and the wider community, in this fast-moving technological world.

We believe that all children should be given opportunities to engage in a broad computing curriculum that ensures they are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.  We are well-equipped with IT infrastructure, including a fully furnished computer suite, laptop trolleys, iPads and interactive screens in all classrooms.
