Digital Statement of Intent
Our intent at Parkdale is that every child becomes confident, competent and creative users of digital technology and responsible digital citizens. Our Digital Learning aims to equip children with digital skills they can use as a form of expression to enjoy ‘doing things differently’, remove barriers to their learning and prepare them for participation in a rapidly changing digital world.
Computing Statement Of Intent
The core of Computing is Computer Science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and Coding, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content.

Supporting Internet Safety
We have come across a useful looking resource for families, particularly aimed at the start of the school year at primary school. It shares information and advice on harnessing the undoubted positives of being online and managing access safely. Well worth a look......

Digital Integration
Digital learning is integrated across the curriculum with intention to achieve our Digital Statement Of Intent and our whole school vision statement. In this video, you’ll see a few snippets of some of the types of digital integration we have implemented so far.
Digital To Support Other Areas Of Learning
All of our pupils have a 1:1 iPad device to support and enhance their learning whilst also developing their Digital Literacy skills.
The iPads are integrated purposefully across the curriculum and used as a tool to scaffold and enhance our learning experience. As we are developing our Digital Skills towards levels of Mastery, we are becoming more independent in being able to select different ways to develop and show our understanding.

Digital & Computing Gallery
We have many wonderful Digital & Computing projects taking place across the school throughout the year. If you’d like to take a closer look at some of our outcomes, you’ll find these saved on our Online Learning platforms. To document the journey of our learning in Digital & Computing, we save our work to Showbie in Years 2 to Year 6, Class DoJo in Year 1 and on Tapestry in Reception. Here are some photos to show Digital in action!

Parkdale’s Digital Newsflash
We’re continuously exploring ways we can use digital as a creative communication tool which also develops pupils’ leadership, oracy and confidence. It’s important to us that pupils have opportunities to evaluate our use of digital and be a core part of the continuous #Parkdale’sDigitalJourney. Pupils suggested a ‘Digital Newsflash’ could be a good way of sharing with our community what we are up to digitally and to identify what our ‘next’ may be! These videos are candidly created, captured in one take and created by our Digital Leaders.
Sound
Across the curriculum, we use tools including Garage Band to show our understanding in different ways. Here are some examples of integrating sound to explore emotion created in poetry as part of our Peace & Conflict topic in Y5.
