Computing at St Thomas More

• At St Thomas More Catholic Primary School we believe that each child deserves to reach their full potential. We follow the example Jesus sets in John 10:10 and believe that we must also act as a guide to our pupils to realise this potential.

• We follow the National Curriculum for Computing. Lessons and outcomes are planned so that the pupils can achieve the best outcomes possible.

• The children use laptops, tablets and interactive whiteboards within lessons.  

• The programme of teaching and learning provides a broad spectrum of computing experience covering three main topics, e-safety, processing and programming.

• Regular cross-curricular opportunities enable children to experience computing within different contexts and with varying purposes and outcomes.

• Children use laptops, tablets and interactive whiteboards within lessons. 

• Children are well equipped to keep safe online and know what they need to do if they ever feel uncomfortable with online context.  

• The practical, communication and safety skills enable pupils to take part in the swiftly developing world and prepare them to meet the future with confidence.

• Unit assessments of how well pupils develop their understanding of the computing concepts are used, so that progress can be tracked and misconceptions supported.
