At Didsbury CE, our ethos is Belonging Believing Becoming: where children feel a sense of Belonging to the school and community of Didsbury. In Computing, children are taught to be respectful digital citizens, understanding how their digital footprint can impact their lives both now and in the future. The children are taught about what to do if they are uncomfortable with any online behaviour or material they see corresponding with our golden thread of online safety throughout the curriculum.

A broad and balanced curriculum

Children study computing for the equivalent of one hour a week in both key stage one and two. We have always been committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum that prepares children for the digital world. We passionately believe that the computing curriculum builds upon the skills and knowledge of the core subjects. For example, the computing curriculum gives children the opportunity to explore technology in both 'plugged in' and 'unplugged' activities. Additionally, in computing across various subjects, children are given opportunities to research using their learned and gained skills.
