Our ICT Policy
Bretforton First School ICT Policy
At Bretforton First School, we want our children to experience the awe and wonder of the world around them and develop the conceptual understanding, skills and attitudes for future life. Our Information and Communications Technology scheme is taught in a stimulating and challenging manner, which fosters each child's ability to find things out, develop and communicate ideas, share information and review their work as it progresses. We do this by employing an approach that focuses on each child's experiences and their awareness of the world around them in order to enhance and develop their knowledge, skills and understanding.
We ensure that each child recieves their entitlement to a broad, balanced and relveant curriculum, which incorporates the programmes of study as detailed in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the National Curriculum.
