Computing
At Oakfield, our computing curriculum is intended to equip all children for their future, not just as learners but as they move forward in their lives. The world is constantly changing and technology is becoming an ever-increasing part of the lives of people around the world. Children will need to showcase their learning behaviours and understanding of technology in order to adapt to these changes. The computing curriculum intends to develop and nurture these behaviours and provide children with a variety of problem solving strategies to draw upon in the future. The curriculum is designed to support children in becoming individuals who can communicate and collaborate effectively and creatively using technology to enable this. The moral basis of our curriculum prepares children to become positive role models and open minded citizens who are able to take their place in an ever-changing society.
Online Safety
In a growing digital age, Online Safety is of paramount importance. At Oakfield Community Primary School, we ensure that children are aware of the potential dangers of the internet. Online Safety discussions take place each time children are given access to the internet, as well as dedicated Online Safety lessons and visits from PCSO’s.
