Computing

Technology is changing the lives of everyone. Through teaching Computing we equip children to participate in a rapidly-changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology.

Our curriculum is broken down further into 5 key areas. These include:

-Programming

-Handling data

-Multimedia

-Technology in our lives

-E-safety

Through these areas Teach computing is underpinned by pedagogical principles. These are:

Lead with concepts,
work together
get hands-on
unplug, unpack and repack
model everything
foster program comprehension
create projects
add variety
challenge misconceptions
make concrete connections
structure lessons
read and explore code first

Our Computing Intent

Our Computing curriculum is based on the following principles: 

Children will build their resilience when solving coding or technology problems
They will use critical thinking to review and evaluate their work
For children to solve problems with code, debugging it, to ensure it works correctly
All children will have access to a wide range of technology, apps and resources
Children will develop the skills necessary to use computers effectively
All children will be responsible digital citizens, knowing how to stay safe online
Children will understand their rights and responsibilities when working in a digital world
