Computing
We intend to provide an IT rich environment which allows children to gain the confidence and ability to equip them for the challenge of a rapidly developing and changing technological world.
We aspire for all children to become independently ‘digitally literate’; use IT confidently in everyday situations; have a secure knowledge of IT applications; have the ability to use this knowledge and understanding to carry out a range of computing tasks across the curriculum; become resilient during problem solving and most importantly use it safely, respectfully and responsibly.

Design and Technology
Design and Technology is an inspiring, investigative and practical subject that encourages children to learn to think creatively to solve problems, both as individuals and as members of a team in an increasingly technological world.
At St Nicholas CEVC Primary School, we encourage children to use their creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. We also aim to make links to designs and designers throughout history, providing opportunities for children to reflect critically upon and evaluate their designs.
We aim, wherever possible, to link work to other disciplines such as maths, science, computing and art. This gives the learning purpose and relevance to the children.
Through their lessons, extra-curricular activities and competitions, we aim to give children a broad creative experience which will expand their conceptual and practical horizons. This will not only ensure they have a rounded educational experience but will acquire skills to take them to the next stage of their education and beyond.
