COMPUTING
Computing at Hateley Heath:
By the end of Year 6, children at Hateley Heath will have a strong understanding of Computing and how to actively participate in a rapidly and ever-changing environment, where work and leisure activities are increasingly influenced by technology. We support Sandwell’s aspirations of creating a highly skilled workforce for the future of the Black Country and our curriculum will provide children with the skills to become confident, creative and independent learners, developed through discovery, exploration and analysis of the computing world. These academic foundations and building blocks will provide this area with the next generation of technicians, engineers and developers for Sandwell’s key sectors of growth such as the Computing technologies.
Through Computing we aim to ensure all our children:
-
Develop their understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science.
-
Develop their skills in using hardware and software to manipulate information.
-
Develop a high-quality computing education which equips them to understand and change the world through logical thinking and creativity.
-
Develop their understanding of how digital systems work and to become digitally literate individuals.
-
Explore their attitudes towards ICT, its value for themselves, others and society, and their awareness of its advantages and limitations.
