ICT & COMPUTING

At Belleville our aim is that by the end of their time with us, children are able to support and enrich their learning through the use of technology.

They will communicate, express themselves and develop ideas through the use of a number of different technologies. They are also taught about Online Safety and further information and resources are available here.

ICT is integrated throughout the curriculum and we are very well resourced, with a range of equipment such as computers, laptops, ipads and interactive whiteboards. 

A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.
