Computing

We are aware that we live in a world of technological advance where micro-electronics are commonplace and the ability to use Computing effectively is a vital life skill.

Pupils will be given, where appropriate, opportunities to develop and apply Computing in the study of other National Curriculum subjects as well as to develop Computing capability in its own right.

At the end of Key Stage 2 our aim is that pupils can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation; can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems; can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems and are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
