Definition of Digital Technology

At our school we recognise that pupils will be using hardware and software throughout their career and will need to understand how that technology and hardware works.  However in order to become proficient users of technology pupils should also understand how systems work and are built and also how to design, build and improve systems themselves.

Our pupils are therefore taught the basics of programming, networking and how to build a computer.  These skills are applied in relevant contexts to show pupils the relevance of these skills.
