Timelines
AIMS:
1. To develop, maintain and stimulate pupil's curiosity, interest and
enjoyment in Computing and to encourage pupils to have open,
enquiring minds and to perceive Computing in the context of a
wider body of knowledge, skills and vocabulary. Pupils should
ideally become autonomous users of Computing with the associated
skills supporting life long study, the pursuit of personal interests
and prospective employment in a modern technological society.
2. To enable pupils to acquire appropriate, transferable Computing
skills, knowledge and understanding - progression must feature in
the acquisition of Computing skills. All staff should then feel
confident that pupils have a basic level of Computing capability
which can be applied to pupil's learning in a specific area of the
Curriculum. Pupils should feel confident enough with their
transferable skills that they are encouraged to use unfamiliar
Software.
3. To enable all pupils to have equal access to Computing and to
experience success in their work.
4. To allow pupils to develop informed opinions about their Computing and to be able to support them by reasoned arguments.
5. To support all staff in their need to develop confidence and strategies in using Computing within their teaching by providing an ongoing development programme for staff appropriate to their needs, their pupil's needs and the needs of the Curriculum
6. To actively involve the pupils in their learning will help to foster independent thinking and informed planning which is crucial if they are to exploit the Computing facilities to the maximum. Pupils are encouraged to make informed choices at appropriate points. The aim is not to inhibit pupils by placing a ceiling on their target.
