At Thornton Grove Academy, we empower young minds to thrive in the digital age.
In today’s world, computing isn’t just a subject - it’s a vital life skill that unlocks countless opportunities. Our computing curriculum equips students with essential skills in critical thinking, problem-solving and digital literacy. It’s not just about using technology, but understanding how it works - coding, creating and innovating with purpose.
We introduce coding as the language of the future.
From an early age, students engage in hands-on coding projects that teach the fundamentals of programming. Whether building games, animations or websites, they develop logical thinking and creative problem-solving abilities. We encourage curiosity, experimentation and applying technology to solve real-world challenges.
Beyond technical skills, we prioritise digital citizenship and online safety.
Students learn to navigate the online world responsibly and ethically. They gain a clear understanding of digital risks and how to protect themselves and others, ensuring they grow into safe, respectful and informed digital citizens.
