Computing

At Tudor Academy, we empower young minds with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital age confidently. In today's world, computing is not just a subject; it is a fundamental skill that opens doors to endless possibilities.

Computing education is essential because it equips students with critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and digital literacy. It is not just about using computers; it is about understanding how they work, coding, and harnessing technology to create, innovate, and communicate. These skills are not only valuable for future careers but also for everyday life.

Coding is the language of the future, and we believe in introducing students to it from an early age. Our curriculum includes age-appropriate coding activities and projects that teach students the fundamentals of programming. They will learn to create games, animations, and websites while developing logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our students are encouraged to think outside the box, experiment, and solve real-world problems using technology. 

Our teachers will ensure that our teaching focuses on the learners' development rather than technology. Our curriculum develops our students' understanding of algorithms, how the algorithms are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions; create and debug simple programs; improve computer literacy and how to use the internet securely.

In addition to technical skills, we emphasise the importance of digital citizenship and online safety. Our students learn how to use technology responsibly and ethically. They understand the risks of the digital world and how to protect themselves and others online, ensuring a safe and positive digital experience. This is taught as part of our RSHE curriculum.
