Priory Infant School

Computing

Computing and technology skills are taught across the whole curriculum and in every subject.

We have a 15-station computer suite with internet access which our Key Stage 1 children use weekly. There are 18 iPads which are shared by all classes and all classes have interactive whiteboards which are used throughout the day.

The children learn how to use programmable toys such as Pixies and Bee Bots. They use microphones, walkie-talkies and metal detectors in their play. They are taught how to use recorders to play and record and have access to digital cameras and a digital voice recorder.

Online safety is taken very seriously and all children are taught how to stay safe when using the internet and only approved children’s search engines and educational websites are used. Please see the online safety pages on the school website for more information and some useful links for parents.
