Computing

Our Vision

At St John’s, we embrace a digital mindset! All pupils will be delivered a high quality computing education that equips them with the ability to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Our goal is to inspire a passion for computing and deliver the skills to fully participate in the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world. Whether they aspire to be software engineers, video gamers or IT consultants, we aim to instil in them our core values.

The children will become digitally literate as they will be able to express themselves and develop their ideas through the use of information technology whilst also having full awareness of how to be safe online in a responsible, confident and creative way.

To enable our children at St John’s to be technologically ready, they will be able to apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms, and data representation. Alongside this they will be competent at analysing patterns in computational terms through having repeated practical experience of writing computer programmes.

Most of all, we want our children to look forward to and remember their computing lessons and build the confidence to embrace any opportunity they are given in the future!
