Computing

Our vision at St Robert’s Catholic First School is that all pupils should enjoy Computing and become confident, passionate and responsible users of technology both inside and outside of school. Through interesting, relevant and inclusive lessons, they will be able to leave Year 4 with a good understanding of how computers and the Internet work, along with being able to complete tasks on them creatively, independently and reflectively for a range of purposes and audiences.

The Computing curriculum at St. Robert’s is designed to enable pupils to embrace and utilise new technologies through the application of essential knowledge,principles and concepts. See the link below for the full 'Intent, Implementation and Impact' document for more details.

 At St. Robert's we have carefully mapped out the progression of skills across the different strands within Computing from Early Years through to Year 4.

What is FIRST® LEGO® League?

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to our children through fun, exciting hands-on learning. The children gain real-world problem solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's students and teachers build a better future together.

This is designed to inspire children to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.
