Computing at Shire Oak
At Shire Oak we follow the National Curriculum for teaching computing (previously known as ICT - Information and communication technology). We use the Swtiched on Computing scheme to ensure the planning of well sequenced lessons that help children acquire the knowledge and develop the skills they need for future study, work and life. We use Google Classroom to support learning in school and at home and have banks of chromebooks that can be used in the classroom. This approach (as opposed to an IT suite of desktop computers) helps children to integrate their computing skills into other subjects and continue to use the tools, displays and resources in the classroom to support learning across the curriculum.
