Computing

Vision

At Reevy Hill, Computing is planned to equip pupils with the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Being a proficient user of technology has become an integral part of everyday life. We want children to be able to use these technologies to their advantage and to also have a clear understanding as to how to keep themselves safe online. Computing has deep links with Mathematics, Science, and Design and Technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems.

We want to prepare our children to not only be able to use technology successfully but also to understand how it works. Our ambition is that through teaching them these skills we will be preparing them for the increasing number of new technologies they will inevitably face. As a school, we believe in a holistic approach to the teaching and learning of computing and encourage a cross-curricular application of computing. We believe that these skills will provide children with a firm foundation in computing which they can build on throughout their lives.

Key Concepts

Key concepts which are the 'big ideas' are weaved throughout our Curriculum. Children will learn and revisit these key concepts as they progress through school to allow them to build a rich and deep knowledge of the big ideas in each subject.
