Vision Statement

At Southmead Primary School we want to ensure all pupils have access to a well-balanced and enriching computing curriculum which prepares children with the relevant skills to succeed in a digital world.

We believe that high-quality and cross-curricular computing lesson provides children with the skills to become computational thinkers.

Each computing lesson at Southmead will simulate children through group work and a range of practical tasks, allowing them the opportunities to lead and contribute to discussions.  Children are taught about how the digital system works, though programming and coding. Pupils are equipped to create programs, systems and a range of content. By the end of a pupil’s school journey children will be digitally literate, allowing them to be able to express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology.

Children will be provided with a range of hands-on experiences to allow them to use the internet in a safe and respectful way, whilst having a clear understanding of how to seek help.
