Computing at St Nicholas
Subject Leader: Mr R Gough
Hello, my name is Mr Gough. My role as Computing Subject Leader is to ensure that all our staff are equipped with the knowledge and skills to deliver Computing lessons that aim to inspire our children to become the next significant digital developers of our time.
This is achieved through our staff and children having access to and using technology which creates a range of rich and exciting experiences and opportunities from coding our very own games, to animating our own digital stories, to delving deep into the workings of a computer!
I look forward to sharing this journey with you through shaping our very own little software developers, IT technicians and of course digital ambassadors.
Introduction
|
A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems, and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world. |
What are our aims and aspirations for the
St Nicholas Digital Ambassador?
