Computing

At Beddington Park Academy, we empower young minds with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital age confidently. In today's world, computing is not just a subject; it is a fundamental skill that opens doors to endless possibilities.

Computing education is essential because it equips students with critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and digital literacy. It is not just about using computers; it is about understanding how they work, coding, and harnessing technology to create, innovate, and communicate. These skills are not only valuable for future careers but also for everyday life.

Coding is the language of the future, and we believe in introducing students to it from an early age. Our curriculum includes age-appropriate coding activities and projects that teach students the fundamentals of programming. They will learn to create games, animations, and websites while developing logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our students are encouraged to think outside the box, experiment, and solve real-world problems using technology. 

In addition to technical skills, we emphasise the importance of digital citizenship and online safety. Our students learn how to use technology responsibly and ethically. They understand the risks of the digital world and how to protect themselves and others online, ensuring a safe and positive digital experience.
