Computing

Intent:

‘A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.’

Computing programme of Study, DfE, 2013

The school will:

Computer Science

Develop confidence in coding on a range of devices
Develop understanding of technology and how it is constantly evolving and updating

Digital Literacy

Enable a safe, respectful computing environment and demonstrate appropriate computing behaviours
Expose children to a range of digital resources and devices

Information Technology

Develop ICT as a cross-curricular tool for learning
Promote learning through the development of computational thinking
Allow children to understand and appreciate the modern world

Digital Well-being / E-Safety

Take responsibility for own computing behaviours
Demonstrate respect for other digital users and computing laws
Identify safe computing behaviours
Provide opportunities for pupils of all backgrounds to achieve in computing

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, the pupils will develop their computing skills through a wide range of creative activities/experiences that cover the prime and specific areas of learning and development and build on the skills they are bringing with them at the start of their learning journey.

We believe that e-Safety awareness and safe practice are of vital importance. As such, they are firmly embedded in all areas of our Scheme of Work.
