At SPSM we are proud to deliver a Computing curriculum which gives children the opportunity to hone skills that will qualify them to be part of an increasing, computer literate and digitally demanding world.  Children are encouraged to consider their personal safety, digital footprint and follow internet etiquette and acceptable use expectations.  The Computing curriculum encompasses the following:
