Computing at Chesterton Primary School
Intent
At Chesterton, we want to empower our pupils to use computational thinking and skills, along with creativity to understand and change the world. This will enable Chesterton pupils to become active citizens with a strong global awareness. Pupils will responsibly use a range of technology to influence their lives, the lives of their communities and the world around them in a positive and engaging way.
At Chesterton, we sit on the edge of the Cambridge Science Park, a hub of computer science in a town renowned for brilliant and foundational computer scientists such as Alan Turing. The core of computing is computer science, centred around the branches of computation and information, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Combining all of these branches of computing will enable pupils to develop their digital literacy.
