Computing
We aim to build a curriculum which develops knowledge and skills, enabling learners to become independent, confident and capable. We aim to embed a key understanding of how to keep themselves safe online, for children to have the skills and confidence to be able to use computers effectively in their lives, and for them to develop their knowledge and understanding of computer programs and computer systems.
Our aims for Computing link closely to our wider Curriculum Intent – see the table below.
