At Gilbert Colvin we recognise that the world we live in is becoming increasingly digital. Because of this, we know that we need to equip our children with the skills they need to thrive in this technological age. Computing lessons are a key part of this.

Our computing education is broad and progressive, allowing our pupils to build on skills learnt in previous years and develop a thorough understanding of computers and the part they play in the wider world. In addition to this, online safety is embedded throughout our school curriculum, allowing our pupils to become resilient and safe when using the internet.

We want children to develop as respectful, responsible and confident users of technology, aware of measures that can be taken to keep themselves and others safe online. Beyond teaching computing discreetly, we will give pupils the opportunity to apply and develop what they have learnt across wider learning in the curriculum.
