Welcome to ICT and Computing at Tamworth Enterprise College

Department Intent

The curriculum is planned in alignment with the National Curriculum. We are committed to creating knowledgeable, creative, resilient and reflective digital citizens that are successful and responsive to the demands of the digitally evolving world that we live in. The content encourages learners to investigate, discuss, debate and create solutions to ICT and computing problems as individuals and in collaboration. All learning is built on respectful and considerate use of technology, future technology, and awareness of environmental, ethical and legal issues and concerns that can affect people's daily lives. It aims to equip learners with digital competencies and confidence to allow them to make right choices with computing technologies.   

Principles

All pupils should be given the skills and knowledge so that they:

• can understand and apply fundamental principles and concepts of computing 

• can analyse problems in computational terms, and have practical experience 

• can evaluate and apply information and creative technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems

• are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology
