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, we take a look into our closest city of Manchester, where Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, went to university. 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.

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 is not narrowed in end of key stage years. We passionately believe that the computing curriculum builds upon the skills and knowledge of the core subjects. For example, the computing curriculum gives opportunity for substantial pieces of text to be written, edited and published using various software. The opportunities to research across all subjects are extensive.
