Intent

Our Computing curriculum is carefully designed to ensure a progressive and coherent learning journey across all year groups. We believe in a hands-on, practical approach to learning, where pupils are actively engaged in real-world activities that promote problem-solving and collaboration. Our curriculum covers three main strands: computer science, information technology, and digital literacy. By the end of their primary education, pupils will have developed a deep understanding of computational thinking, algorithms, and coding concepts. They will be proficient users of various software tools and show a high level of digital literacy. Pupils will be confident in using technology to enhance their learning experience across the curriculum.

The intent of our Computing curriculum is to

  • Empower future innovators and digital citizens.
  • Develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.
  • Foster digital wellbeing and awareness.
