Rationale

At Riverside Primary School we provide pupils with a Computing education in which will enable them to participate successfully in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology.  We give our pupils the life-skills that will enable them to embrace and utilise new technology in a socially responsible and safe way.

Our high-quality computing curriculum enables pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Pupils are taught about the core principles of Computing, Computer Science, information and computation as well as how digital systems work and how to use programming. Our Computing education also ensures that pupils become digitally literate at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.
