Studies have identified the primary years as the period when students form their interests in computing identities and careers. The teaching of computing at Four Dwellings Primary Academy aims to give all children a strong understanding of technology. Our intent is to provide opportunities for all children to acquire specific skills and knowledge to help them adapt to the ever-changing technological world. Alongside this, our goal is to equip all children with a deep understanding of computing that will allow them to be successful in Four Dwellings and beyond.

At Four Dwellings Primary Academy, we aim to deliver a curriculum that gives children an understanding of how to use the various forms of technology they encounter in a safe manner. We are fortunate that all year groups have their own computer trolleys enabling the skills to be used throughout all areas of the learning process and to support a broad range of activities in our curriculum.

Through the use of technology in the curriculum we aim to help pupils become knowledgeable about the different sources and types of information they encounter and become comfortable in using a wide range of devices and software to explore the broader curriculum.

We recognise that working with modern electronic devices and technology is a motivational factor for our children and enjoy seeing the pleasure and excitement as they engage in a curriculum that is relevant and modern.
