Computing
Across the Ripon Rural Partnership, each school benefits from having a set of Chromebooks, which can be accessed by children from all classes when required. We also have several ipads per class which can be used by staff and students. In addition to these we have bee-bots, Micro-bits and data loggers, to allow our pupils to access Physical Computing and programming
We use the NCCE Teach Computing curriculum to teach our weekly Computing lessons. This scheme covers a wide range of topics including: programming, creating media, network & systems and data & information. The children regularly learn about online safety and this learning is carefully planned to build on prior knowledge. The children also get the chance to use ICT in all subjects, whenever it enhances the curriculum.
We subscribe to several online resources to enhance the children’s computing skills, such as; TTRockstars, Purple Mash, Language Angels and Ed Shed.

Online safety
All computers and laptops have controlled Internet access with safeguards used to ensure no child gains access to unsuitable material. The children have their own individual usernames and passwords when using programmes online that we have subscribed to. We ensure that each half term the children spend time learning about online safety and how important it is to stay safe online.
There is a wealth of advice and help for parents and children on how to use the internet and new technologies safely and responsibly at home. Please see the Online Safety page, under the Key Info tab for links and advice for parents.
