Computing

Sections

At Upperwood Academy, we are committed to providing our children with learning opportunities to engage in Computing. Computing is a subject that not only stands alone but is woven into the curriculum more widely so it is an integral part of learning. Computing, in general, is a significant part of daily life and children at Upperwood are exposed to computing technology on a daily basis. Computing within school can provide a wealth of learning opportunities and transferrable skills explicitly within the Computing lesson and across other curriculum subjects.

We identify three key elements to our Computing curriculum:

Computer science
Information Technology
Digital literacy
