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...

What improvements do the pupils want to see in computing at St Anne's?

We will be revisiting these as a staff and move towards providing these further opportunities for the children.
