The BBC has some great resources to help children and parents to understand the computing curriculum. Don’t forget our page on online safety which forms a big part of the computing curriculum as well. (disclaimer: We have no control over the content of external websites.)
INTENT:
Our computing curriculum supports the aims and objectives of National Curriculum 2014 as well as those set out in the EYFS Statutory Framework 2017.
Our intent encompases:
● Developing inquiring minds and curiosity about the development, application and use of technology
● Satisfying this curiosity with knowledge
● Engaging pupils as learners at many levels through linking ideas with practical experience
● Helping pupils to develop an understanding of computational concepts, as well as computational thinking, and apply these appropriately.
● Show pupils how major innovations in computing contribute to societal change and how this impacts both positively and negatively on our everyday lives
● Helping pupils to learn to question and discuss issues that may affect their own lives
● Helping pupils to engage with the changing technological landscape safely and with knowledge of potential pitfalls through delivery of age appropriate online safety throughout the year
● Providing cross-curricular links when relevant, particularly to give a connected curriculum.
● Offering ongoing and specific CPDL to all staff to enable them to confidently deliver aspects of the Computing curriculum.
