At Willow Grove School we believe that teaching our pupils Computing is fundamental in giving our children the greatest opportunities to grow and expand their learning and life skills in the future in order to successfully navigate life in our rapidly changing world. 

It is our intention to enable our children to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information.  We also focus on developing the necessary skills our children require to be able to use information in an effective way.  

Computing skills is a major factor in enabling our children in being confident, creative and independent learners, and it is our intention that our children have every opportunity to allow them to achieve this.  

In addition, we also feel that it is paramount that we want our children to know how to keep themselves safe when using the internet. 

SMART internet rules: 

S for Safe: Keep personal details away from strangers.

M for Meet: Don’t meet people that you know online unless you’re with a trusted adult.

A for Accept: Don’t click any links that you’re unsure about.

R for Reliable: Don’t believe everything people tell you.

T for Tell: If you see something online that upsets you, tell a trusted adult straight away!
