computing

At North Hinksey we want our pupils to be able to operate in the 21st century workplace and understand that the careers which will be open to them using computing and computer technology may not exist yet.  We aim to give our pupils the life skills that will enable them to embrace and utilise new technologies ensuring that we have a mixed economy of devices that mirror all options that may be found in the home.  We want children to be confident and autonomous users of these technologies; ensuring that they are not only computer literate but also resilient critical thinkers. The children revisit the following threshold concepts as part of our spiral curriculum:

  • Code

    This concept involves developing an understanding of instructions, logic and sequences.

  • Connect

    This concept involves developing an understanding of how to safely connect with others.

  • Communicate

    This concept involves using apps to communicate one’s ideas.

  • Collect

    This concept involves developing an understanding of databases and their uses.
