Attendance

Intent:

Here at RMS, we aim ‘for all’ children to develop computing confidence and become, responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology. Our whole school ethos and aim is for all of our children to be ‘Ready, Mutually Respectful and Safe’ and this is no better demonstrated than in our Computing Curriculum offer. Through a sequential and progressive skills curriculum, we aim to equip all our children with the necessary knowledge and understanding of current technologies to enable them to ‘do all the good they can’, and as technologies develop, enable them to thrive within a global network and digital future. We aim that all children use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private and can identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet and other online technologies.

Implementation:

Our whole curriculum including Computing is designed ‘for all’ to access and succeed. Our equality vision is built on championing fairness and ‘doing all the good we can’ to enable every child to meet their potential and therefore ‘do all the good they can’, both now and in the future. We use technology to enable equal access to aspects of our broad and balanced curriculum by scaffolding and promoting equality of opportunity, closing gaps and building confident engagement in learning.

Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core structure of our computing curriculum is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. We encourage enquiry based and problem-solving approaches which will provide life-long skills in preparation for the technological future, whatever that may look like.

Children are encouraged to ask questions and find solutions. Building on their knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Our computing curriculum is taught within a context and purpose. Classrooms are equipped with an up-to-date screen and laptop, whole class sets of laptops and ipads are available.

Children are encouraged to increase their subject knowledge vocabulary and use their increasing skills to communicate more effectively with a wider audience. In RMS, Computing is taught as a stand alone subject and used to enable and deepen learning in other subjects such as English and Mathematics. Children are taught to respect the online community, behave responsibly and keep, at all times, both themselves and each other safe. This is in line with our ‘Ready, Mutually Respectful and Safe’ school ethos.

Impact

A high-quality computing education equips ‘all’ pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Our children will be well-placed to take up their responsibilities as global citizens, ‘doing all the good they can’.  Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate, able to use, express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology. This will be at a level suitable for the future workplace and our RMS children will be enabled to be active, responsible and respectful participants in a digital world. They will be ‘Ready, Mutually Respectful and Safe’.
