Computing

A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.

Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design & technology. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming.

Computing ensures that pupils become digitally literate and express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology at a level suitable for their age, in order to lay the foundations to be active participants in a digital world.

We teach computing weekly using the Kapow scheme, a comprehensive and progressive scheme of work. Covering all the national curriculum requirements and more, children will become confident in their use of computers as well as learning to understand and generate algorithms and code. Online safety is an important part of the scheme.
