Our dynamic, creative computing curriculum motivates children to be inspired and imaginative in their use of technology.
Computational thinking and reflective learning is encouraged through cross curricular opportunities.
As they move through school, children develop an understanding of how technology and digital systems work. Children develop their digital literacy, showing that they know how to use technology respectfully and safely. They are able to apply these skills to their use of technology both in and out of school.
Children engage and develop a deep understanding of computer science. Thinking critically and knowing how to develop and create their programs for a range of purposes.
How we teach computing
We have a balanced curriculum that is sequenced appropriately across the three areas of computing with natural links to other curriculum areas.
Planning demonstrates a substantive and disciplinary approach to teaching. Children develop fluency in using technology for a range of purposes. Staying safe online is integrated into all areas of the curriculum. It is taught specifically in computing and within PSHE.
Computing lessons focus on collaboration and creativity by providing extended periods of time to work independently and with others to solve problems and develop the knowledge and skills required to be computational thinkers.
We have a large computer suite and also class sets of laptops for children to use in class.
