Computing

Curriculum Intent

Technology is changing the lives of everyone. Our Aim through teaching computing we will equip our children with the skills to be IT literate in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology. We aim to enable children to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information.

Curriculum Implementation

Our Computing provision provides coverage in line with the National Curriculum. Teaching and learning facilitate progression across all key stages, using both offline and online activities. We have developed our own knowledge and skills progressions that support the progression of learning across the school.

They will understand impact technology has on the world around them.
