Computing at Downsell (updated)

Miss Rahman - 16 Mar 2018

ICT is a tool that is used everyday by everyone; from switching on a light to using sophisticated computer programs, it is a subject that underpins every aspect of modern life. Downsell Primary school is committed to the following aims:
•    To enhance learning across the curriculum and in all subjects, providing appropriate progression of skills between year groups and Key stages
•    To ensure that all pupils receive their entitlement and frequent access to Computing as laid out in the National Curriculum
•    To make children aware of the uses and influence of ICT in their daily lives
•    To give children an introduction to the new digital medias that are now available such as digital cameras, digital camcorders, video editing and interactive whiteboard technology 

The Computing Curriculum:
The curriculum consists of three strands: Digital Literacy, Information Technology and Computer Science.
 
Digital Literacy
The ability to read, spell, punctuate, and perform basic arithmetic are essential life skills, so is the ability to use a computer. Digital Literacy is the ability to use computer systems confidently and effectively, including:
  • basic keyboard and mouse skills
  • use of ‘office applications’ such as word processing, presentations and spreadsheets
  • use of the Internet, including browsing, searching and creating content for the Web, communication and collaboration via e-mail, social networks, collaborative workspace and discussion forums
Information Technology
This strand deals with the creative and productive use and application of computer systems, especially in organisations, including considerations of e-safety, privacy, ethics, and intellectual property.
 
Computer Science
Computer Science is the study of the foundational principles and practices of computation and computational thinking, and their application in the design and development of computer systems.
