Intent:
Pupils are taught to create and debug simple programs using simple algorithms. Pupils use a wide range of technology to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content. Embedded within all curriculum subjects, children are taught to use technology safely and respectfully keeping their personal information private.
Implementation:
In Key Stage One, the main scheme used for Computing is taken from the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE). Their vision is for every child in every school in England to have a world-leading computing education. The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) is funded by the Department for Education and supporting partners, and marks a significant investment in improving the provision of computing education in England.
In Key Stage One, pupils receive an hourly lesson per week to learn and practice a new computing skill. Technology is also embedded across the curriculum to allow pupils to use apply their knowledge and skills in a range of concepts and teachers plan a termly cross-curricular project. We have a wealth of technology such as recoding and coding devices to enhance the wider curriculum.
An overview of termly schemes of work are outlined in our:
