ICT, Computing and E-Safety

The Castlefort classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and visualisers to enhance the children’s day-to-day learning. Pupils have access to laptops and I-Pads for research, projects and computing lessons. Our computing curriculum (adapted from the ‘Rising Stars’ scheme) equips pupils with the foundation skills, knowledge and understanding of computing that they will need for the future. They learn how computers and computer systems work, how to design and build programs, develop their ideas using technology and how to create a range of content. E-safety is also very important to us at Castlefort. Pupils learn about E-safety though assemblies, role-play and discussion alongside ICT-usage in lessons. Pupils also participate in E-safety day each year.
