Our Intent

Brookland Junior School believes that every child should have the right to a curriculum that champions excellence, supporting children to achieve their potential. We understand the immense value technology plays in not only supporting the computing curriculum, but also in terms of how it supports learning across the whole-school curriculum, and in real day-to-day life. We believe that the computing curriculum should be relevant and provide our children with opportunities to access a variety of high-quality hardware, software and unplugged resources. It should excite, engage and challenge learners, equipping them with the skills to use a range of technology in their everyday lives. 

Furthermore, we place great value on teaching children how to stay safe online and educate them to become responsible, respectful and competent users of data, information and communication technology. Technology should be used imaginatively and creatively to inspire the children and it should be used to help them become more efficient when completing daily activities.

 "We learnt about the common signs of possible scams.  It is really important to know." - Daisy, Year 6

"I enjoyed using spreadsheets and creating a formula to budget for a party.  I spent most of the money on food and hiring a football stadium as the venue!" - Freddie, Year 6

"We have created a game with different scenery, characters, obstacles and objects to collect. It is important that we test the game for bugs and make changes if we need to correct something or make it better." - Bobby, Year 5

"Last term we created and animated a marble run.  We had to keep testing it and making changes so that it ran smoothly." - Jade, Year 4
