Policy

Technology has become an increasingly important part of our everyday lives and an equally important part of the primary curriculum. The computing curriculum provides children with the essential skills and experiences to use technology effectively to enhance both academic and leisure time. Our aim is to enthuse and inspire pupils to further their computing understanding and develop their knowledge of technology both at school and in the wider world.

Computing is a critical part of a child’s curriculum. It develops their confidence and effective use of technology, inspires, and enthuses them to use computing both for enjoyment and with purpose, safely, in the world around them. A high-quality computing curriculum will allow children to develop a wide range of skills that are essential as they build and develop their computing knowledge and understanding throughout their school life. They develop basic skills for using a range of technology in school and recognise the uses' technology has in the home as well. Alongside building these basic skills, children will be continually building their subject knowledge on various features of a range of technology in their environment. As a result, children will be ready to engage with the increasingly digital world around them, both at school and in the wider world. Computing skills will assist children on their life-long learning journey, helping them to develop team-working skills, creativity, problem-solving and resilience.

Implementation

We offer a well-resourced, broad and balanced computing curriculum which aims to instil children with a sense of awe and wonder and a passion to question, investigate and problem solve. Our children learn a wide range of key skills with a focus on both 'on' and 'off' device learning.
