Wheatfields Infants & Nursery School logoWheatfields Infants & Nursery School

The school is promoting good posture and teaching children to set themselves up properly at computers from an early age, by providing guidance/coaching and a toolkit of “I can” statements on “healthy computing” as part of their everyday school life.

The classroom is the workplace for children and in many UK classrooms the computer set-up for children would have been considered “illegal” if it were an adult workplace.  The school has revamped its computer workstations at low cost so that they now fit the children.
