Computing at SS Peter and Paul
The aims at SS Peter and Paul for the curriculum of Computing are:
*Children will understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation.
* Children will be able to evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems.
* Pupils will be equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content.
* We aim to ensure that children are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
*Children will become independent and skilful users of digital technology and will be outward looking and forward thinking in this technological age.
* To equip all learners with the experiences and skills of computing that they will use in a rapidly changing technological world and to engage children through enriched multi-media learning experiences.
* We aim to ensure that teachers develop confidence and competence to use digital technology in the effective teaching of their subject.
*Children will become digitally literate. They will be able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology, at a level suitable for future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

Children use a range of PCs, iPads and Laptops throughout the school and work on five main strands:
Coding (programming)
Multi-media presentation skills
Computer systems and networks
Data handling
Online Safety
Children also use use their computing skills across the curriculum and will become familiar with Microsoft Office through this work.

Often KS1 children will have the opportunity to work alongside KS2 children, helping the older children to re-cap and communicate their knowledge and providing support for those newer to studying computing.
