Computing at St Anne's...

At St Anne’s School we want every child to be happy and enthusiastic learners of Computing, and to be eager to achieve their very best in order to fulfil their God-given talents. We firmly believe that the recipe for success is high quality first-wave teaching in Computing, which is central to the life of our happy, caring school.

Learning from the best - be inspired...

Cultural Capital

Here at St Anne's we strive to give pupils opportunities in their learning to develop essential knowledge and learn about things that are outside their daily experience. In computing we aim to do this through experiences that allow the children to learn more about the development and impact computing has on their lives as well as having opportunities to develop and extend their computing knowledge.

Recently, Year 6 have visited Blessed William Howard to undertake a taster session of Secondary computing which included learning how to use pixels to create detailed images. On line homework has also been introduced from years 2 - 6 to help with retrieval practice and develop confidence in applying knowledge using technology to support.
