Computing
Children at Thorpe Acre Juniors are enthusiastic computer programmers. The school has invested in a range of high quality hardware, such as ipads and laptops. Pupils are encouraged to independently write code for a range of programs and are given opportunities to create video games, multi-media presentations and a variety of written documents.
E-safety is a core principal in the school's computing curriculum and children regularly discuss and learn about how to keep themselves safe on line. The school participates each year in Safer Internet Day with children's views on keeping safe when using computers being regularly gathered and monitored.
