National Curriculum for ICT
The approach to ICT and Computing at Mereworth is based around delivering a comprehensive curriculum covering the three main categories:
- Digital Literacy, covering collaboration, e-safety, contact, awareness and more
- Computing, covering programming, design skills, planning, problem solving, and teamwork
- ICT (Information Communication Technology), which focuses on programs, web skills, searching, and utilizing digital devices to solve real world problems
We use a specially designed scheme, created by Mereworth primary, that consists of a combination of lessons from Purple Mash, Teach Computing and Project Evolve.

Safer Internet Day 2026
Our school joined others nationwide in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2026, the largest global online safety campaign. This year’s theme, ‘Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI,’ focuses on teaching children and young people the skills to use AI technology safely and responsibly, and highlights available support.
A key part of protecting children and young people from online harms is through preventative education. By talking about this in school and at home, we can all work towards keeping children safe when they are online. Celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for you to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.
If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance. If there is a need for a concern to be escalated, please contact one of the schools’ designated safeguarding leads: Miss Lavelle, Miss Maryon, Mrs Delaney or Mrs Knight.
