Computing

Computing at Eastern Green Junior School equips pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to understand and participate safely in an increasingly digital world.

Our computing curriculum develops pupils’ understanding of:

computer systems and networks
programming and coding
digital creativity and multimedia

online safety and responsible use of technology

Pupils learn how technology works, how digital systems are used in everyday life and how they can create their own digital content.

E-safety is a key part of our computing curriculum. Pupils learn how to stay safe online, how to protect their personal information and how to behave responsibly in digital environments.
