At Highcliffe we are committed to ensuring that our children are prepared for the continuous evolving digital world. Through the Teach Computing Curriculum children are able to develop a digital literacy which allows them to access information safely and understand the fundamentals of why and how technology works We teach children how technology can be used to enhance our lives and how to transfer their skills and knowledge across different areas of the curriculum.
