Computing

I like computing especially coding because on Turtle Academy you can create different designs using codes.

Our Intent

Our carefully balanced computing curriculum is designed to help children to enjoy computing and develop an appreciation of the ways in which technology helps us to create, manage, organise and collaborate. Pupils flourish in this subject by:

  • Becoming digitally competent and able to transfer the skills they learn into their day to day lives now and in the future
  • Equipping children for life in the digital world, including developing their understanding of appropriate online behaviour and copyright issues so that they become discerning consumers of online information
  • Promoting understanding in three key areas: computer science, information technology and digital literacy

 

Implementation.

We follow a carefully planned progression of skills and knowledge from Reception to Year 6. Pupils have the opportunity to learn and apply transferable skills.

Our computing curriculum has a cyclical structure and is designed:

  • So that pupils return to the same skills and knowledge again and again
  • To promote increasing depth of understanding, so that each time a skill or area of knowledge is revisited it is covered more fully
  • Build on prior knowledge so that pupils can build on skills and knowledge that they have already learnt
  • To develop learning through five key areas of study: computer systems and networks, programming, creating media, data handling and online safety
  • Be inclusive, so that all can access technology meaningfully

Children in key stages one and two will be taught six units of computing each year.

Impact

The impact of the music curriculum will be evident through pupils:

  • Digital competence and application of transferable skills
  • Readiness for life in the digital world, where they exhibit their understanding of appropriate online behaviour and copyright issues as discerning consumers of online information
  • Strong understanding of computer science, information technology and digital literacy
  • Pupils’ readiness for their future learning

Impact will be monitored by teachers and leaders in line with the teaching and learning policy.
