# Computing

In computing at Hillsborough, we aim to impart children with the knowledge of how to use technology in a safe and responsible way independently. We want to develop children’s confidence of engaging with lots of different technology to encourage them to belong to a world shaped by technology. We aim to give them skills that will equip them for life in a digital world!

- Engage and enrich children’s experiences in school through digital literacy, ICT and computer science allowing them to **become** confident digital learners who use computational thinking in an ever-changing digital world.
