Subject Leader: Miss Krawiec

Welcome to the computing section of Hatch Warren Junior School. As computing leader I believe that it is important to have technology available in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand as it is the pen and paper of our time. It is the lens through which we experience much of our world. That is why here at our school, we have thought long and hard about delivering a quality computing curriculum with excellent resources which will have a lasting affect on children's lives. Please take the time to explore the computing page and familiarise yourself with our curriculum. For extra support on what you can do at home, please visit our 'Keeping your child safe online' section of the website, where you will find lots of important information and resources to help keep your child safe.

Our vision for computing

At Hatch Warren Junior School, we recognise that children are living in an ever-increasing technological world and our aim is to help children thrive, adapt and develop knowledge and confidence in this area. Computing skills are taught and practised in isolation in the first instance so children are able to apply their skills across other subjects in the curriculum. We strive to equip children with the understanding, skills and knowledge in order to prepare children with the confidence to apply this to everyday situations once they leave primary school. Our purpose is to instil a key understanding of how to keep themselves safe online, to become IT literate and to create programmes to aid tasks in everyday life. Children who have an increased awareness of the computing curriculum will develop and promote independence, initiative, creative thinking and increase their ability to problem solve. We facilitate this development by teaching and delivering rich and engaging computing lessons across the whole school, that allow children to be able to make their own informed judgements and consider the implications of their learning for work and home life – now and in the future.
