Computing
Our computing curriculum provides children with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to thrive in an ever-changing digital world. Our curriculum continually evolves to reflect developments in technology, ensuring that children are prepared for the opportunities and challenges of the future.
Children have access to a range of hardware, including laptops, iPads and desktop computers, alongside a variety of digital tools and software. This enables them to develop their skills across different devices and platforms and apply computational thinking in a range of contexts.
Computing is taught through a cross-curricular approach wherever meaningful links can be made, while specific skills are also taught discretely when appropriate. Digital technology is used regularly across the curriculum to enhance learning and encourage children to work independently and collaboratively. Children are also encouraged to apply computational thinking across subjects through problem-solving, logical thinking, planning and reasoning.
Through our computing curriculum, children learn to:
- Think computationally through programming and coding.
- Understand, create and use algorithms.
- Solve problems, identify errors and debug programs.
- Use digital technology creatively to produce images, presentations, animations, films and other digital content.
- Use technology to communicate and collaborate with others.
- Collect, represent, interpret and analyse data.
- Develop digital literacy and evaluate digital content critically.
- Use technology safely, responsibly and respectfully, including understanding how to stay safe online.
-
Develop the confidence and skills to become responsible and capable digital citizens.
