Computing Intent

Through the "Teach Computing" curriculum scheme, we equip our children to participate in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology.

Our overall aim is that children leave our school as confident, capable and creative users of digital technology, with a secure understanding of the fundamental principles of computer science and as safe, responsible and discerning digital citizens. There are three interrelated aspects, and these are covered in each year:  

• Computer Science (the foundations of computing, covering coding and computational thinking)
• Information Technology (the applications of computing, including working with documents, data and digital media)
• Digital Literacy (the implications of computing for individuals and society. 

It is our intention to enable children to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information. We also focus on developing the skills necessary for children to be able to use information in an effective way.
