Computing

Intent:

At St Mary's Academy we believe in the importance of nuturing our children's computing and technological confidence, skill and knowledge so that they can keep up and engage in an ever-evolving world.

We will:

  • Motivate our children to be ambitious learners
  • Provide opportunities to produce meaningful work
  • Enrich our pupils so that they can make links between the knowledge they are taught and provide them with opportunities to use and develop skills with a purpose that goes beyond the classroom
  • Prepare our children fro their next stages of their educational careers and beyond so that they can cope in an ever-changing world


Implementation:

Our Kapow Primary Computing Curriculum ensures we are able to fulfil these promises by:

  • Ensuring full coverage of the National Curriculum
  • Equipping children for real-world digital challenges through modern online safety training
  • Providing hands-on learning with real apps to ensure real-world readiness
  • Developing knowledge and skill through five key strands; Computing systems and networks, programming, creating media, data handling, online safety
