Computing
In Reception, the children have lots of opportunities to explore technology and they regularly use computers to support their learning in other areas. From Year 1 onwards, we follow the National Curriculum for Computing. We subscribe to Purple Mash - every child has their own logon and can access the resources from home. If you are not sure of your child's log on details, please contact the school office. You can access Purple Mash here.
Years 1 and 2
In Years 1 and 2, the children follow a rolling programme. This allows them to explore the same ideas in different contexts and means that they are not negatively affected by mixed age classes.
