Finding our talent in computing...
At Swillington Primary School, our mission is to provide a transformative cradle to career education that allows our children to enjoy lives of choice and opportunity.
Our aim is that computing will develop our children’s understanding of the ever-changing technological world and to develop their awareness of the dangers that they face when they are using online platforms. We want children to see the benefits of technology and how it can help them in their day to day life within and outside of school.
Due to the pandemic and disruptions to the teaching of computing, we have altered our long term plans to reflect this (see document below).
