At the heart of our Computing curriculum is equipping children with the foundational skills, knowledge and understanding of computing they will need for the rest of their lives. Computing is a practical and creative subject, in which invention and resourcefulness are encouraged. Through the curriculum, children will work together in learning how computers and computer systems work; they will design and build programs, develop their ideas using technology and create a range of content. Ultimately, our aim is to ensure children are ready for the workplace and able to participate effectively, confidently and safely in this digital world.
