We provide a thriving computing culture for all children in our school, ensuring lessons are engaging, progressive and inclusive. Computing is taught in well-sequenced blocks using the Teach Computing scheme, which is carefully mapped to the National Curriculum. Each strand of the curriculum is revisited over time, allowing children to build on prior learning, deepen their understanding, and apply their skills with confidence and independence. 

In Programming, children learn to write, test and debug code. They are encouraged to be resilient and reflective learners, showing forgiveness when mistakes occur and supporting each other with compassion and patience. 

In Creating Media, children use digital tools to express themselves. They are taught to consider the impact of their creations, to be respectful and thoughtful in their communication, and to take pride in producing work that has purpose and meaning. 

In Data and Information, children collect, organise and analyse data. They are encouraged to be honest and careful in how they handle information, understanding that truthfulness and integrity are vital digital values. 

In Computing Systems and Networks, children explore how digital devices and systems connect. We promote hopeful conversations about how technology can be used to build community and improve lives. 

Throughout the curriculum, e-safety is taught explicitly and revisited regularly. Children are taught how to act with respect, show compassion online, and seek peaceful resolutions to conflict. We promote responsible and ethical use of technology, ensuring pupils understand the consequences of their digital actions.
