Computing & Online Safety
At Longton, we recognise the vital role that primary school computing plays in preparing our pupils for the future. Taught by a specialist computing teacher, our high-quality computing curriculum empowers pupils to harness their computational thinking and creativity, allowing them to engage with and transform the world around them. With strong connections to mathematics, science, and design and technology, our programme delves into computer science principles, teaching pupils how digital systems function and equipping them with programming skills. We ensure that every child becomes digitally literate, proficient in using information and communication technology to create and express their ideas effectively. Online safety is an integral part of our curriculum, as we believe that while the online world offers immense value, it is essential for pupils to understand its potential dangers and possess the necessary tools to navigate challenges safely and responsibly.
