Digital WellbeingAll pupils are taught e-safety and digital wellbeing within their computing lessons. The Pastoral Team also runs a whole school awareness week on digital wellbeing to discuss current issues and remind students how to protect themselves online. |
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
For Chapter House’s youngest pupils computing is taught through role-play and using tech equipment indoors and out. Children might practise “painting” on an interactive whiteboard, drive remote controlled cars, use metal detectors or have fun communicating with walkie-talkies.
Key Stage One
Lessons in Computing include learning to programme a robot to move around the room, creating media on an iPad and communicating safely online.
Key Stage Two
From Year 3, children begin to design and write programs to accomplish a specific goal. They learn how to use the internet and touch on topics like communication, collaboration and how to collect information on search engines.
