Computing
Meet The Subject Coordinator

Mr Gilbertson
Computing Coordinator
My passion/ personal experience with Computing
My passion for Computing comes from a love of technology, and being able to use technology to enhance the classroom and learning experience. Keeping up to date with the latest educational technological developments ensures our curriculum is relevant, meaningful and prepares our children for the future of an ever-changing digital world.
Experiences in Our School
Making cross-curricular links with other subjects within school provides our children with the opportunity to practise and develop their computing skills in a contextual manner. We often use our computing skills across subjects by carrying out research, creating graphs, tables and spreadsheets, publishing our writing on blogs and even sometimes producing amazing pieces of artwork! We have recently achieved the National Online Safety award and the Safe Remote Education accreditation.
Hopes and Goals in Computing
This year we will be looking at making strong cross-curricular links with our new RSHE curriculum to promote the importance of online safety. I am really looking forward to re-introducing online blogs for all classes, to provide a platform to publish writing for a wider audience.
