‘Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all!’ JF Kennedy

Our children live in an ever-changing, rapidly advancing world where new knowledge and new skills need to be acquired, understood and mastered at a rate previously unheard of.

We aim to enable children to learn the full range of knowledge, skills and understanding in order to appreciate their world as well as recognising and embracing their role in becoming citizens who make a positive contribution to our society; now and in the future.

Our community and its environment help shape the way in which we structure learning opportunities. We balance the celebration of all positive aspects of our local context with the ability to look beyond the Furness Peninsula in order to understand and embrace the wider world.

We are totally committed to learning of the highest standard in academic, personal and social forms and have these aspirations for all children in our care.

Our Computing Curriculum draws on The National Curriculum in England. Topics are organised over a two year rolling programme and is taught as a discrete subject as well as being incorporated in teaching across the curriculum, with some skills revisited in all year groups with progression focused on advancing skills across the phases rather than by year group. This reflects the varied starting point children have in terms of their digital literacy.

Computing and logical thinking will be embedded across the curriculum using the knowledge and skills of our staff who have a passion for a positive future and children who are willing and excited to learn.

In doing so, we will engage, inspire and challenge our children to have an interest in computing and ICT to encourage further study of this subject and create digital citizens within the local and global community. Children at George Romney will be fully aware of how to embrace and utilise technology in a safe and responsible manner.

Our Vision

George Romney is a safe and happy place to learn.

Our children are nurtured as individuals with different abilities and talents which are celebrated and developed.

Our stimulating and reflective curriculum inspires children to ask questions and develop positive attitudes to learning, both now and for the future.
