At Catshill First School and Nursery, we recognise that in an ever-advancing world of technological innovation it is paramount that our high-quality computing curriculum equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world in which they live. 

Providing children with chromebooks and ipads enables them to use digital technology in a variety of ways across the curriculum, ensuring that they leave Catshill First School and Nursery digitally literate and as active, responsible participants in a digital world. We believe that computing underpins a successful future for our children. We use the Teach Computing curriculum and Project Evolve (internet safety) to plan engaging lessons for all year groups.

In line with one of our federation core values – aspiration – we aim to develop possibilities for all! We want children to have no limits to what their ambitions are, aspiring to be: 

  • Computer Programmers, 
  • Engineers,
  • Cybersecurity Experts,
  • Web & App Designers,
  • Technicians….and so much more!
