Computing
At Barry Primary School, it is essential that all pupils gain the confidence and ability to help prepare them for the challenge of a rapidly developing and changing technological environment. We want our children to become digitally literate and able to express themselves and develop ideas through IT.
Our children have a computing lesson once a week to focus on specific computing skills, but IT is also regularly embedded across the curriculum. We follow the 'Switched on Computing' scheme of work from Years 1-6.
Online safety
Within our 'Switched On Computing' scheme, each unit reinforces the importance of online safety. The children are therefore regularly reminded of our school online safety rules. In addition to this, activities and lessons are carried out in association with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre using the‘thinkuknow’ website, to promote awareness of safe information handling when using the internet.
