Computing & Online Safety
At Hullavington CE Primary and Nursery School, we want our children to become confident, capable and responsible users of technology. We recognise the important role that digital skills play in everyday life and aim to equip pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
Our Computing curriculum is designed to develop children's understanding and skills across three key areas: computer science, information technology and digital literacy. Through a carefully sequenced programme of learning, children explore how computers and digital systems work, develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills, and learn to use technology to create, communicate and present information in a variety of ways.
Online safety is woven throughout our Computing curriculum and taught explicitly at every stage. Children learn how to use technology safely and responsibly, protect their personal information, recognise potential risks and understand how to respond to situations that may make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. We also encourage children to think critically about the information they encounter online and to treat others with kindness and respect in digital spaces.
Through practical experiences, exploration and discussion, we aim to develop digitally literate pupils who can make informed choices, use technology creatively and approach the opportunities and challenges of the digital world with confidence.
