At Stanley Grove Academy, we use Mr Ps DARES Computing curriculum.

At Stanley Grove Academy we believe that pupils should be masters of technology and not slaves to it. Technology is everywhere and will play a pivotal part in students’ lives. Therefore, we want to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, responsibly and safely. We want our pupils to be creators not consumers and our broad curriculum encompassing computer science, information technology and digital literacy reflects this.
 

Intent for this subject:

• All children must understand that there is always a choice with using technology and as a school we utilise technology (especially social media) to model positive use.
• All children to effectively demonstrate their learning through creative use of technology.
• All children to know how to use technology positively, responsibly and safely.
• We encourage staff to try and embed computing across the whole curriculum to make learning creative and accessible. All children are physical activity for a sustained period of time.

• All children to be fluent with a range of tools to best express their understanding. Children to have the independence and confidence to choose the best tool to fulfil the task and challenge set by teachers.
