Intent

To ensure that all children, regardless of gender, ability or background, are taught to make informed choices in order to use technology positively, responsibly and safely.

Our intent is to instil a sense of enjoyment around using technology and to develop pupilā€™s appreciation of its capabilities and the opportunities technology offers to, create, manage, organise and collaborate. We also want to develop pupilsā€™ confidence when encountering new technology which is a vital skill in the ever evolving and changing landscape of technology. Through our curriculum, we intend for pupils not only to be digitally competent and have a range of transferable skills at a suitable level for the future workplace, but also to be responsible online citizens. Our children will be taught to use technology carefully, being mindful of how their behaviour, words and actions can affect others.
