Curriculum Overview
Computer Science Vision
At St. Aidans we aim for our students to be confident digital citizens who want to embrace the technologies around them – both old and new. We strive to create opportunities that encourage our young people to use technology and create innovative solutions to problems within their own lives and to support others in society to “live a life in all of its fullness.” We want them to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding to do this in a safe and responsible way.
