At Callington Primary, we understand that technology plays a significant role in society today. We endeavour to deliver a high-quality computing education which equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Through our Computing curriculum, children are taught the skills, values and ethics to enable them to participate effectively and safely in our digital world.    

Our Computing curriculum enables children to become effective users of technology who: 

• can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation  

• can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems  

• can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems  

• are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology. 

Here, we take internet safety extremely seriously. We have an Online Safety Policy that provides guidance for teachers and children about how to use the internet safely.  

Online safety is taught across the year through Project Evolve and embedded across our curriculum. Children understand how to stay safe online and how to report any concerns they may have when using technology.  In addition, we support parents with their own knowledge by providing a section our website and providing updates and advice in our school newsletters.
