Overview

The introduction of the Computing curriculum aims to equip pupils with the knowledge, understanding and skills to use information and communication technology creatively and purposefully. A key aspect of this lies in being “digitally literate”. Online technologies play a huge role and so providing a broad and balanced e-safety education at each key stage is vital to ensuring that pupils can navigate the online world safely and positively.

“Digital Literacy” - a definition:

1. The ability to find, evaluate, use, share, and create content using computers and the Internet.

2. The ability to understand and use information in different formats (articles, journals, videos, etc) from different sources (web search, news website, someone’s blog, etc) when presented on a computer.

The concept of literacy is more than just being able to read - it’s about reading with meaning. You can’t understand information found on the Internet without evaluating its sources and placing it in context.

Being internet safe outside school

At school the children’s use of the Internet is controlled, filtered and closely monitored. The information and web sites below can help you as parents understand e-safety and, if necessary, use tools to keep your child(ren) safe online.
