Computing
At Porthleven Primary School our computing provision equips our children to participate in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology.
It is our intention to enable children to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information in a safe, responsible and respectful manner. We recognise the importance of developing pupils’ skills at being able use information in a discriminating and effective way.
Coding is also a fundamental aspect of our computing curriculum which enables children to develop their problem solving and reasoning abilities. It enables children to understand and apply the essential principles and concepts of Computer Science, including logic, algorithms and data representation, analyse problems in computational term, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems.
Computing skills are a major factor in enabling children to be confident, creative and independent learners and it is our intention that children have every opportunity available to allow them to achieve this.
