At Abbeyfield we believe in the role of computing, and the creative problem solving that it embodies, in equipping students to understand and change the world around them.

This latter process is present in all societies and all human groups, but its especially central to democracy in which citizens are explicitly expected to participate in shaping their society.

Therefore it is important to the society as a whole as well as to the self-interest of individual citizens, that we all are afforded a sound understanding based on valid, reliable and systematic evidence.
