Our ICT and Computing curriculum is broken down into the following focus skills:

• To Code
• To Connect
• To Communicate
• To Collect

 

Computing (Coding) and E-safety are taught discreetly. However using technologies to connect, communicate and collect are embedded within the Learning Journey. In each year group there is also an opportunity for pupils to develop and combine their technology skills through a Longitudinal Study.

 

Through our teaching of ICT and computing we aim to:

• stimulate pupils’ interest in and curiosity about how technology works
• encourage children to become independent learners and use a range of new technologies to support their own learning
• ensure pupils have a good understanding of a range of technologies and programmes so they can become employed in the role of the future
• understand how they can remain safe with their use of technology

   

Through ICT we can also:

• Improve pupils’ skills in writing and mathematics
• Develop pupils’ thinking skills
• Promote pupils’ awareness and understanding of gender, cultural, spiritual and moral issues
• Develop pupils as global citizens
