Intent 

We strive for all children to develop a strong, flexible knowledge of computational thinking so they can better understand the ever-changing world of technology. Using the Teach Computing scheme as a structure, teaching is planned to create deep links across the curriculum, through units on: systems and networks; creating media; data and information; and programming.  

Online Safety 

Online safety is crucial to our curriculum. It is taught each half-term, at the beginning of each unit of work, and is a particular focus in both Anti-Bullying Week and Safer Internet Day each year. Through this, children are taught about the importance of keeping themselves and their personal information safe online and begin to develop an understanding of the different opportunities that can be used safely when exploring online resources.  We understand that because of the digital world we live in, we must do all we can to promote the importance of safety on the Internet for all our learners. 

 Curriculum 

As a school, we follow the Teach computing scheme of work, where learning is sequenced to develop mastery of skills and knowledge. We ensure children develop resilience and investigative skills to develop their computational thinking skills by following taught processes. In EYFS, Computing is part of the children's continuous provision.
