Computing

"Every great developer you know got there by solving problems they were unqualified to solve until they actually did it". 

-Patrick McKenzie

The core of Computing is Computer Science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use Information Technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Children embed their problem solving skills through all aspects of Computing lessons.

Computing also ensures that pupils become Digitally Literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

Our aim throughout St. Austin's is that children develop into a:

Digital Citizen – somebody who is safe and responsible

Digital Creator – somebody who is logical and creative

Digital Communicator – somebody who is digitally literate
