Computing
At Spinfield we love computing! We are lucky enough to have a full class set of chromebooks for KS2, a full class set of mixed chromebooks and laptops for KS1 and a class set of iPads. Every classroom has an interactive white board and an apple TV. The chromebooks are funded by our amazing Parents Association on a three year lease.
Purple Mash is the basis for our computing curriculum and online learning platform. Every child in school has their own log on so they can use Purple Mash both at school and at home. All the children also have access to doodle maths which they can use at home.
We use Google workspace for education fundamentals and all children from year R upwards have a Google Classroom account. This can be used for homework, remote learning or school closure. It can also be used in class.
Online Safety
At Spinfield we take online safety very seriously, we start every term with online safety lessons. Please see the tips and information below. We regularly hold e safety assemblies for children and workshops for parents.
All children are expected to read and comply with Spinfield Computing Code of Conduct.

CEOP helps any child or young person under the age of 18 who is being pressured, forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity of any kind. This can be something that has taken place either online or in ‘the real world’, or both. The CEOP Safety Centre has clear information and advice on what can be reported to CEOP, the reporting process and what will happen if you do decide to make a report. You can visit the CEOP Safety Centre and make a report directly to CEOP by clicking the Click CEOP button.
