We follow a carefully planned progression of skills and knowledge from Reception to Year 6. Pupils have the opportunity to learn and apply transferable skills.

Our computing curriculum has a cyclical structure and is designed:

• So that pupils return to the same skills and knowledge again and again
• To promote increasing depth of understanding, so that each time a skill or area of knowledge is revisited, it is covered more fully
• Build on prior knowledge so that pupils can build on skills and knowledge that they have already learnt
• To develop learning through five key areas of study: computer systems and networks, programming, creating media, data handling and online safety
• Be inclusive, so that all can access technology meaningfully

Impact

The impact of the music curriculum will be evident through pupils:

• Digital competence and application of transferable skills.
• Readiness for life in the digital world, where they exhibit their understanding of appropriate online behaviour and copyright issues as discerning consumers of online information.
• Strong understanding of computer science, information technology and digital literacy.
• Pupils’ readiness for their future learning.

Impact will be monitored by teachers and leaders in line with the Teaching and Learning Policy.
