Computing
At St. John with St. Michael C.E. Primary, we follow the Teach Computing curriculum from the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) to provide a high-quality computing education for all pupils. Our curriculum equips children with essential digital skills, covering computer science, information technology, and digital literacy. Through engaging, hands-on lessons, pupils learn coding, online safety, and how to use technology responsibly and creatively.
Keeping pupils safe online is crucial for their wellbeing and development. Teaching online safety not only protects them but also empowers them to use the internet responsibly. As a Church of England school, we encourage pupils to use technology with integrity and wisdom, preparing them for the digital world while promoting kindness and respect in online spaces.
Parental Guide - Children's Commissioner
Supporting children’s safety is a shared responsibility between families, schools and wider society. For parents and carers, this responsibility has become increasingly complex as children’s lives are now deeply intertwined with the digital world. Many parents face difficult decisions about how to balance protecting children from online harm with enabling access to spaces that are now central to learning, socialising and play.
This guide was written with the direct involvement of children in England. It is a reflection of their views.
