Computing

Our aim is to provide children with a thorough and ambitious education in computing, equipping them to use technology, computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. It is now more important than ever that children are able to use technology positively, responsibly and safely, and that they see good examples of this in practice.

What we want children to know is clearly mapped out in our curriculum grids. We believe it is important to provide our children with well-connected knowledge, as the connections between facts foster understanding and lead to the development of crucial skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking. Intelligent repetition of content is built into our curriculum, as we recognise that children need to retrieve core knowledge quickly if they are to use it effectively.
