Computing

Implementation

Online safety is woven throughout the curriculum, with pupils taught how to use technology responsibly and confidently in every year group.

Computing is taught weekly through the school’s PPA offer, ensuring consistent, high‑quality provision for all year groups.

Technology is embedded across the wider curriculum so pupils can continue developing their computing skills in various contexts.

Online safety is taught during every computing session to reinforce safe and responsible digital behaviour

E‑safety learning objectives are mapped across the year and may be delivered through discrete lessons or integrated into everyday classroom practice - The school follows Google’s Internet Legends pillars: sharp, alert, secure, kind and brave.

The computing curriculum is organised into three core strands: Information Technology, Computer Science and Digital Literacy. Each year group covers an even balance of these strands, with skills taught progressively in line with national curriculum expectations.

Oracy and discussion are central to learning, with explicit teaching of vocabulary and clear identification of key terminology in planning.

A structured skills progression ensures increasing challenge and raised expectations year on year.

Assessment is teacher‑led with oversight and quality assurance from the subject leader.

Learning to Learn behaviours are embedded throughout the curriculum.

Online learning platforms are promoted across the school to encourage continued learning at home.
