At Beacon View Primary Academy, we believe that all children need to be equipped with the necessary technological skills to participate proficiently, creatively, responsibly and safely in the digital world.
Our high-quality computing and e-safety curriculum, ensures that all pupils have the opportunity to become effective users of technology who can:
- Critically evaluate online content for honesty, accuracy and reliability
- Understand and apply the main programming concepts e.g. sequencing, repetition, selection and variables
- Evaluate the impact of technology on everyday life
- Use a range of digital tools to create media e.g. desktop publishing software, vector drawings
- Label, group and search for specific data and information e.g. branching databases, data logging, flat-file databases, spreadsheets
- Use, modify and create programs using algorithms (instructions in sequence)
- Use logical reasoning and learning/experience to predict outcomes
- Know how to keep themselves safe online
All of our pupils from EYFS to the end of Key Stage 2, have access to a wide range of technology including iPads, Chromebooks and interactive whiteboards. This enables them to become creative problem solvers, who are digitally literate and able to communicate effectively with the wider world both for today and in the future.
At Beacon View, we also have a Device Loan System in which families can borrow a Chromebook to enable their child to access our home learning online. This is offered to remove the barrier for families where multiple children are trying to share a single device or use small screens on mobile phones. Please contact the school office for more details.
