At our school we want pupils to be MASTERS of technology and not slaves to it. Technology is everywhere and will play a pivotal part in students' lives,. Therefore, we want to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, responsibly and safely. We want our pupils to be creators not consumers and our broad curriculum encompassing computer science, information technology and digital literacy reflects this.

We want our pupils to understand that there is always a choice with using technology and as a school we utilise technology (especially social media) to model positive use. We recognise that the best prevention for a lot of issues we currently see with technology/social media is through education. Building our knowledge in this subject will allow pupils to effectively demonstrate their learning through creative use of technology

At Water Primary School we use Teach Computing as a basic platform to build our computing curriculum on. The Teach Computing curriculum is built around an innovative progression framework where computing content has been organised into interconnected networks called learning graphs. It is created by subject experts, using the latest pedagogical research and teacher feedback.

Our computing curriculum includes four key areas; Computer systems and networks, Creating media, Data and information and Programming. Knowledge and skills gained from these areas of the computing curriculum are used in appropriate areas in other curriculum subject areas.
