Intent 

Our intent is to equip all pupils with the skills, knowledge, and understanding they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. We aim to develop digitally literate learners who are confident, safe, and responsible users of technology. Through a broad and balanced computing curriculum, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, ensuring that pupils understand key concepts in computer science, including algorithms, data, and programming, while also developing essential skills in information technology and digital literacy.

Implementation

We follow the Teach Computing scheme of work, which is structured to ensure clear progression across all year groups and covers the three strands of the computing curriculum: Computer Science, Information Technology, and Digital Literacy. Lessons are designed to be engaging, accessible, and inclusive, with opportunities for hands-on experience using a range of digital tools and technologies. Online safety is embedded throughout the curriculum to help students make informed, safe choices in a digital world. Teachers adapt the scheme to meet the needs of their learners, using formative assessment to inform planning and support progress.

Impact

The use of the Teach Computing scheme ensures a consistent and high-quality computing education across the school. Pupils leave each key stage with a secure understanding of computing concepts and the ability to apply their knowledge in practical contexts. They can write and debug code, use digital tools with purpose, and understand how to stay safe online. Our computing curriculum empowers pupils to become resilient, independent thinkers prepared for the demands of further education and the modern digital workforce.
