Computing
Our computing curriculum is designed to prepare our pupils for the digital world to enable them to reach their full potential through a broad and inspiring sequence of learning.
The children will have the opportunity to:
- Become confident in using code, understand and apply the essential concepts of computer science, including logic, algorithms and data representation, through a variety of ways such as hands-on experiences and real-life contexts.
- Analyse problems in computational terms and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems in order to deepen their knowledge.
- Effectively use a range of programs to apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, which will allow them to flourish and express themselves in society.
- To connect with others responsibly and are competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology, preparing them for becoming members of the wider community.
