At St Helen’s Primary we collaboratively work towards achieving excellence in Teaching & Learning for Computing.

Our systems of planning, teaching, monitoring, and evaluating the computing curriculum hopefully will facilitate teachers in achieving the very best outcomes for pupils, regardless of starting points.  

Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy are the main areas within the computing curriculum and we at St Helen’s strive towards exposing and teaching pupils to a wide variety of skills, experiences and poignant real-life scenarios that will hopefully support the notion of Cultural Capital; providing the foundations that lead to well-rounded global citizens.

Wake Up Wednesdays – Keeping Children Safe online

St Helen’s Acceptable Use Policy for the children

• I will use the school’s ICT equipment and tools for schoolwork and homework.  If I need to use the school’s computers for anything else, I will ask for permission first.
• I will only use the internet and email when an adult is nearby.
• I will not share my passwords with other people and will tell my teacher if I think someone else knows them.
• I will ask an adult before opening an email from someone I don’t know.
• I will not share details about myself such as surname, phone number or home address.
• I will ask if I need to look at other people’s work on the computer.
• I will try my hardest to only send messages which don’t upset other people.
• I will ask my teacher before using photos or video.
• If I see something on a screen which upsets me, I will always tell an adult.

I will do my best to follow these rules because I know they are there to keep me and my friends safe.  If I don’t follow these rules, I know that my teacher may stop me using technology at school and / or talk to my parents about how I use technology.
