At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we encourage the children to use computational thinking and creativity to better understand our ever-changing world as it provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. Through computer science pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Developing pupils knowledge and understanding enables them to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Pupils also become digitally literate and able to express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology.
This enables us to live, love and learn about the technological world of their everyday lives.
Computing is a sacred subject:
Computing enables pupils to know the universal story they are a part of:
Below are some examples of how our teaching of Computing contributes to our whole school pupil characteristics:
Pupil Characteristic | Key Word | Computing contributes to this by providing opportunities to…… |
The leaders of tomorrow | LEAD | Become visionary developers of computing programmes, products and skills and exhibit this to others in power |
Advocates | STAND | Use of computing to gather and share the voices of those that cannot speak for themselves |
Powerful orators | SPEAK | Value the additional of computing to demonstrate and reinforce their messages about issues they are passionate about |
Gospel activists | ACT | Employing the use of computers and computing to demonstrate their Gospel values with the community around them |
Inquisitive learners | ASK | Generate questions about the growth, power and limits of computing and search to discover the answers |
