Computing
At All Saints' we believe a high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems.
The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content.
Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

Our Computing Ambassador
Our Ambassador is Year 6 pupil, Lena Hojarczyk. She will work alongside Miss Dunkley, who is the Computing subject leader, in things such as learning walks, lesson observations and pupil interviews. This will help Lena to develop her own leadership skills and develop our next steps in Computing. By working together with the pupils we aim to improve our knowledge, understanding and love of Computing.
