We aim to provide high-quality computing education that equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity. Technology and computing are used in most areas of our, and the children’s, daily lives, so we aim to show the children how computing is used in the wider world at an age appropriate and meaningful level.

During Computing sessions, the children will be taught a range of substantive knowledge across the following areas; programming, creating media, data and information and computer systems and networks. In addition, they will be taught how to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly and how to report any concerns they may have. Children are given opportunities to use their disciplinary knowledge to develop original digital content and programs.

Children will have access to a range of devices to support them in their learning both in Computing sessions and across other curriculum areas. This enables us to link much of the content of our computing curriculum to the work that children are doing in subjects such as History, Science and Maths.
