Computing
Our aim at Burlington Junior School is to ensure pupils are equipped with the skills, knowledge and understanding to be confident learners.
A significant factor in this is the ability to use a range of technology and software competently, as we are living in an increasingly technological age.
To help pupils achieve this, they are given the opportunity to develop their basic computing skills, before building on them and applying them securely to different pieces of software.
