Our Intent for Computing
At Hasland Infant School we teach our children to become confident, competent, creative and safe users of technology. Our curriculum enables children to find and explore information whilst providing them with the necessary skills to be able to do this in an effective and safe way. We teach our children to become computing experts who understand that the effective use of technology can equip them with the skills needed for their future roles in life. At Hasland Infant School we emphasise the importance of online safety. Providing a broad and balanced online safety education for all ages is vital to ensuring that pupils can navigate the online world safely. We aim to use the teaching of online safety to empower our children to use the internet appropriately.

An algorithm is a set of instructions that someone tells the program to follow in order to solve a problem.
