“Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.”
At Newham Bridge Primary, we embrace technology, innovation and computing and believe that all children should be well equipped to live and flourish in an ever-changing technological landscape.
The intent of computing at Newham Bridge is to provide our children with the necessary knowledge and skills in the three main areas of the computing Curriculum: computer science, information technology and digital literacy. The objectives within each strand support the development of learning across the key stages, ensuring a solid grounding for future learning and beyond.
At Newham Bridge, computing is taught as a timetabled lesson, with dedicated resources. However, there are opportunities to use computing as an additional tool within other subjects allowing the children to become creative thinkers and access learning in a variety of ways.
Our Computing curriculum is well-planned and closely aligned to the national curriculum guidelines as well as being link to topics (where appropriate).
- KS1 & KS2: we use the Oak National Academy, which ensures that pupils meet all the National Curriculum requirements for Computer Science and Information Technology. Children learn how computers work, how to program, and how to use technology creatively and responsibly.
- Digital Literacy: We use Project Evolve throughout the school to support pupils in becoming safe, respectful, and responsible digital citizens. Lessons address real-life online scenarios, giving children the confidence to make positive choices in the digital world.
