Computing

At the heart of school’s computing curriculum is the aim of preparing children for the real world with the skills to stay safe online. 

The children will be taught about using a range of text and multimedia resources, about data handling as well as ‘Technology in our Lives’.  

There is also a focus on programming or coding.  This builds from our youngest children in Foundation Stage working with toys they can control electronically, into Key Stage 1 when the children will develop their understanding of the logical way computers works. In Key stage 1 the children will also start to write simple instructions or algorithms on the computer and this will progress into more complex approaches in Key Stage 2.  We look for children to demonstrate their ability to work logically, be able to deconstruct algorithms and to work creatively to overcome problems.
