Our Computing intent is that all pupils build a vital confidence, knowledge and understanding of the way technologies work - and how internet-connected systems can be employed - in order to adapt flexibly to rapid change over the coming years.
The National Curriculum's Computing content is used as a starting point for devising our curriculum. The objectives are broken down into manageable, sequenced chunks for children over the six year groups, that widen the scope and reach of the subject to reflect its ever-growing importance in our world.
The map of objectives is framed into three broad strands: Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy.
- can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation
- can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems
- can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems
- are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
