Computing

Computing is taught in a block each half term as part of a Computing day. Working with technology begins in Pre-school and the children’s skills are developed throughout their time at school. Lessons include a range of skills and knowledge. We also make use of our Computing skills across the curriculum. There is a focus on making the learning engaging and challenging for all learners.

  • Using the internet

  • Coding 

  • Use and understand technology

Computing At Long Lawford

We want our pupils to love their experience using the equipment and taking part in their lessons. We ensure our pupils to learn the skills they need to take their learning on to the next stage of their school life through use of Purple Mash. We want our pupils to persevere and overcome the problems and challenges which come up in Computing and to prepare them for using these skills in their future roles. We want our pupils to succeed in their Computing lessons to give them the confidence to use technology in their everyday life.
