Computing

Intent

At Upton Snodsbury our aims are to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for Computing whilst also providing enhanced collaborative learning opportunities, engagement in rich content and supporting pupil’s conceptual understanding of new concepts which support the needs of all our pupils to provide them with a love for learning. Through our Computing curriculum, children have plenty of opportunities to use our Christian values. An example of this would be, when learning about E-Safety, we explore Trust and Responsibility. 

Our Computing curriculum and teaching has links with mathematics, science and design and technology and our aim is to provide a broad, relevant and balanced curriculum whilst ensuring that pupils become digitally literate and digitally resilient. Technology is ever evolving and we aim to develop pupils who can use and express themselves, develop their ideas through, information and communication technology at a suitable level for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

The aims of our Computing curriculum are to develop pupils who:

  • Are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
  • Know how to keep themselves safe whilst using technology and on the internet and be able to minimise risk to themselves and others.
  • Become responsible, respectful and competent users of data, information and communication technology.
  • Can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation.
  • Become digitally literate and are active participants in a digital world.
  • Are equipped with the capability to use technology throughout their lives.
  • Understand the importance of governance and legislation regarding how information is used, stored, created, retrieved, shared and manipulated
  • Understand and follow SMART E-Safety rules
  • Know who to contact if they have concerns
  • Apply their learning in a range of contexts (school and home)
