Computing Curriculum
Our computing curriculum is made up of three main components, Digital Literacy, Information Technology and Programming. These units are taught across KS1 and KS2 and the our curriculum is designed to be very hands on, giving children lots of experience with using technology from writing basic algorithms, through to coding and game design in upper KS2.
An integral part of our computing curriculum is eSafety and the children complete termly lessons, looking at their understanding of how to keep themselves safe online. These lessons closely follow the National Online Safety programme and are paramount to ensuring that our young users of technology are aware of the potential risks of accessing online content.
The document below outlines when we teach different computing skills, covering and exceeding the requirements of the National Curriculum.
