What does Computing look like at Springfield?
At Springfield, Computing and e-Safety form an integral part of our curriculum. Replacing ICT, the subject of Computing enables and empowers our children, providing them with opportunities to enhance their problem-solving skills, whilst also encouraging them to deepen their thinking when working with computer-based technology. Using a variety of different software and hardware provides our pupils with a strong foundation from which they can draw on, as they further their education and move into the world of work in the future.
As we understand the important role technology plays in our everyday lives, as well as the increasing use of technology to support teaching and learning both in and outside of the classroom, we are continually investing in the latest technology to ensure that we are able to deliver an inspiring and purposeful curriculum. Springfield uses ‘Rising Stars, Switched on Computing 2014,’ as a basis for planning. This scheme of work covers the new Programme of Study for computing, including programming and computational thinking. The curriculum delivers clear progression of skills from Year 1 to Year 6. The scheme also embeds e-Safety to ensure safe and responsible use of technology - for more information on e-Safety at Springfield, please click on the link at the bottom of the page.
