Computing

The intent of computing in our primary school is to provide all students with a high-quality, broad, and balanced computing curriculum that equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a digital world. Our intention is to cultivate learners who are curious, creative, and confident in their use of technology, fostering an understanding of computational thinking and its application in solving problems.

Our computing curriculum is designed to meet the statutory requirements set out in the National Curriculum for computing, while also seeking to develop a deep understanding of the subject matter.  We aim to inspire and engage our pupils through a curriculum that is relevant, progressive, and responsive to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Our computing curriculum is carefully designed, sequenced, and planned to ensure progression, fluency, and confidence in technology. It incorporates the three main strands of the National Curriculum for computing: computer science, information technology, and digital literacy.  We use Rising Stars: Switched On, 1Decision’s online safety sessions and a digital literacy unit based on the work of Adrian Bethune.
