Computing at Riverside
At Riverside, we aim to provide children with the skills, knowledge and principles that allow them to participate effectively and safely in this digital world. By encouraging our pupils to become digitally literate and express themselves through technology.
Our aims for Computing at Riverside

Use computer programs effectively including the Internet and Microsoft skills, to prepare them for future work spaces.
Become responsible and competent users of information and communication technology.

Online Safety at Riverside
Our aim at Riverside is to ensure that all children are equipped with the skills to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly. Children will recognise acceptable and unacceptable behaviour when using the internet, whilst identifying a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact they may encounter. Children will participate in our whole school Anti-Bullying week and Safer Internet Day throughout the academic year; where they will undertake a range of activities to widen their knowledge and understanding about the importance of Online Safety.
