Computing

At Hale Primary School, we believe that computing is an integral part of preparing children to live in a world where technology is continuously and rapidly evolving, so much so that children are being prepared to work with technology that doesn’t even exist yet. With technology playing such a significant role in society today, we believe ‘Computational thinking’ is a skill children must be taught to enable them to participate effectively and safely in our digital world. A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use creativity to understand and change the world. Computing is sometimes taught discreetly but with it having strong links with mathematics, science, and design and technology it is often taught as part of a cross curriculum topic.
