Computing

 

 

 Intent

At Lowerhouses CE Primary School we aim to provide a computing curriculum that allows all pupils to develop confidence through a progression of knowledge, skills and understanding that will equip them to become confident digital citizens in the ever-changing digital world that we live in.

We aim to ensure all pupils have an understanding of the online world and how stay safe online.

 

 

 

 

Implementation

Our curriculum for computing is delivered through the Kapow Primary scheme. This scheme is an effective, well - structured scheme that provides coverage in line with the National Curriculum. Weekly computing lessons are taught by the class teacher in EYFS up to Year 6, ensuring children build up their skills and knowledge within each year group. The knowledge and skills of previous learning are built upon each year to deepen our pupils understanding.

We encourage cross-curricular opportunities for pupils to use their computing skills across the wider curriculum in a variety of different ways. This enables pupils to apply their computing skills and understanding by using it in a different context.

Impact

Pupils demonstrate a high level of engagement and enjoyment in computing lessons across all year groups, participating in practical activities, working effectively as a team and independently.

Pupils acquire a wide range of skills, knowledge and understanding in all areas of computing allow pupils to apply their learning in the subject across the curriculum in other subject areas. At the end of a lesson, where appropriate, children will print out their work. At the end of a series of lessons, teachers will record the outcomes of children’s learning.
