Computing & ICT

Computing is a vital subject in a rapidly evolving digital world. At Salford City Academy, we believe that computing empowers students to think logically, solve problems, and be creative. It enables them to not only understand the digital world around them but to shape it. Through our computing curriculum, students develop essential skills in computational thinking, digital literacy, and media creation, preparing them for both further education and the workplace.

We are committed to equipping our students to use technology safely, creatively, and responsibly. Our computing curriculum helps them become confident and competent users of digital tools, enabling them to express their ideas effectively and navigate the digital landscape with awareness and care. These skills are key to thriving in a future where technology plays an increasingly central role in every career and industry.
