Computing - Curriculum Intent

At Shenington, we learn related skills linked to computing to enable our pupils to access the ever changing technological world. An integral part of our computing curriculum is to teach our children to become digitally literate and to learn how to stay safe online. We use a wide range of experiences and applications which are monitored and filtered closely. We encourage our children to be competent, independent, responsible, creative and confident users of technology.
