Computing at St. Alban's

At St. Alban's, we have chosen the Purple Mash Computing Scheme of Work from Year 1 to Year 6, and use the MiniMash resources to introduce computing skills and support cross-curricular learning in our FS1 and FS2 classes. The scheme of work supports our teachers in delivering fun and engaging lessons which help to raise standards and allow all pupils to achieve to their full potential. All of our policies are based on the Department for Education’s (DfE’s) statutory safeguarding guidance, Keeping Children Safe in Education, and its advice for schools on: Teaching online safety in schools. This includes the use of, but is not limited to, blogging, involvement in any social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram or X, and posting material, images or comments on sites such as YouTube, Online discussion forums, Collaborative spaces, Media sharing services, and ‘Microblogging’ applications. In addition, St. Alban’s Catholic Primary and Nursery School has a firm commitment to safeguarding children in all aspects of its work.
