Computing

At Toddington St George's we understand that ICT and computing are an integral part of the national curriculum and that ICT skills are important beyond the classroom.

Computers are a valuable resource in school, benefitting the way pupils learn and helping teachers maximise their role as educators. In light of this, our school is committed to ensuring that both staff and pupils have access to the necessary facilities to allow them to enhance their learning experience. We believe that it is important for pupils and employees to be confident and competent users of computers, and other technological resources, to aid development across the curriculum.

At Toddington St George's, we use the The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) Teach Computing scheme and resources to support the teaching and learning of computing.  It is delivered by STEM Learning. 

The teaching of ICT will ensure that pupils of all abilities are able to engage with the curriculum as effectively as possible, enhancing their ICT knowledge and skills.  Pupils will develop the skills needed to access the wider curriculum using ICT. This is mapped and developed to ensure that pupils can use ICT applications progressively through the curriculum.

Our computing curriculum will allow pupils to investigate, solve problems, refine their work, learn from their mistakes and reflect critically. There will be a good balance across the whole school between the high-quality use of ICT to support and enhance teaching and learning, and the individual pupil’s productive use of ICT for their own learning.
