Accreditation @ HPPS
NOS
Hadrian Park Primary School are proud to announce we are a National Online Safety accredited school. We strive to empower teachers, children and our community to become digitally literate. This ensures online safety remains at the forefront of Computing at Hadrian Park.
TeachICTNT
We work closely alongside TeachICTNT to plan and organise our Computing across the whole school. TeachICTNT provides specialised teaching and support to all staff and children using modernised equipment ensuring Computing is fun, engaging and extremely challenging.
Computing
At Hadrian Park Primary School we are committed to providing all children with a high quality Computing curriculum which is inclusive, engaging, exciting and challenging. All computing lessons ensure children embed and build upon their prior learning. Children are exposed to basic computing and programming skills across Early Years before developing their knowledge, skills and understanding of computing across school. Our principle aim is to ensure all children become confident in all three aspects of Computing:
Computer Science Digital Literacy Information Technology
At Hadrian Park Primary School, we ensure children are exposed to appropriate and challenging software to support children's learning. In addition to many unplugged activities which take place across school children are exposed to PurpleMash, Scratch Jnr, Scratch, Kodu, Lego WeDo, Spheros, Raspberry Pi, Lego EV3s, IPAD applications, Microsoft, Microsoft Office, Google Drive and many more.
DigiLeaders & Seesaw
At Hadrian Park Primary School, Children in Key Stage One & Two have the opportunity to apply to become Digital Leader where they are ambassadors for the subject within their class. Children are made to feel empowered and take responsibility for their Computing achievements, work and projects and use SeeSaw as a way to record and reflect on individual learning in a digital portfolio. This is similar to the app Tapestry that is used in Early Years. In order to develop our skills as Teachers, staff participate in regular Computing CPD opportunities to enhance curriculum and online and cyber safety knowledge.
