Computing
Each Computing lesson contains revision, analysis and problem solving. Through our Computing programme, we want to inspire our pupils to develop a love of the digital world and understand its place in their futures. The learning builds on understanding of computing and how it links to pupils’ lives. It offers opportunities for consolidation, challenge and variety and this allows pupils to apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science. Pupils develop problem-solving skills and learn to evaluate and apply information technology. The curriculum also enables pupils to become responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information technology.
The focus is on developing the use of algorithms, programming and how technology can be used safely and purposefully. As knowledge and skills are developed, lessons still focus on algorithms, programming and coding but in a more complex way and for different purposes. Pupils also develop their knowledge of computer networks, internet services and the safe and purposeful use of the internet and technology.
Every class has an E Safety unit as part of their Computing curriculum each year which is embedded across the curriculum. This is also covered through our PSHE and HRSE curriculums.
