The Department

The Curriculum aims to develop learner’s knowledge, skills and understanding through key computational concepts and experience. The teachers provide a platform for pupils to develop into resilient learners who are able to recover and learn from mistakes and effectively solve problems.  Computing can develop our thinking in a more logical way and improve our ability to make decisions and solve problems.

Everyone should learn how to code; it teaches you how to think (Steve Jobs)
