Bearpark Primary School endeavours for all pupils to be confident users and controllers of ICT in our continuously-developing technological society. To fulfil this need, we will provide pupils with a wide range of opportunities to develop and apply their computing knowledge. We encourage children to use what they have learned in class, both in school and in the outside world. Online safety is at the forefront of the whole of our computing curriculum and throughout the school our pupils are taught how to use technology appropriately.
