Computing
Computing is taught as both a standalone subject as well as being integrated into a wide range of other subjects throughout Guiseley Primary School. Computing, in general, is a significant part of everyone’s daily life and children should be at the forefront of new technology, with a thirst for learning what is out there. Computing within schools can therefore provide a wealth of learning opportunities and transferrable skills explicitly within the Computing lesson and across other curriculum subjects.
Through the study of Computing, children will be able to develop a wide range of fundamental skills, knowledge and understanding that will actually equip them for the rest of their life. The computing curriculum is made up of three broad themes:
- Computer Science
- Information Technology
- Digital Literacy
In addition, Children must be taught in the art form of ‘Computational Thinking’ in order to provide them essential knowledge that will enable them to participate effectively and safely in the digital world beyond our gates.
