Our computing programme aims to equip pupils with the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Using the Teach Computing curriculum as the basis for our provision, pupils develop confidence in using technology purposefully, creatively and safely. The curriculum follows a spiral approach, ensuring pupils revisit and build on key concepts with increasing depth as they progress through the school. Pupils develop their understanding of computer systems, computational thinking and programming, digitial creativity and information technology.
Online safety is a core and continuous element of the curriculum (this is also covered in PSHE), enabling pupils to become safe, responsible and respectful users of digital technologies. Through this approach, pupils are prepared to be confident, capable and responsible digital citizens, ready for the opportunities and challenges of the modern world.
