Curriculum
At St Mary’s, our computing curriculum is intended to equip all children for their future, not just as learners but as they move forward in their lives.
Children will need to showcase their learning behaviours and understanding of technology in order to adapt to these changes. The computing curriculum intends to develop and nurture these behaviours and provide children with a variety of problem solving strategies to draw upon in the future. The curriculum is rooted in our core Christian values and is designed to support children in becoming individuals who can communicate and collaborate effectively and creatively using technology to enable this. The moral basis of our curriculum prepares children to become positive role models and open minded citizens who are able to take their place in an ever-changing society.
During computing sessions, the whole class are taught at the same time. This allows children to work collaboratively to solve problems and create content. This also supports children who are less confident and allows children who are more confident to develop their skills further.
We follow the iCompute scheme for computing across the school. The scheme is comprehensive and forward-thinking, following a progressively planned sequence of units covering topics such as:
Online-Safety is taught every half term in our PSHE lessons and is reviewed and revised at the start of computing days – depending on the focus of the learning. The school uses iCompute online safety plans and resources for delivering this important area of the curriculum. This programme meets the needs of the RSHE requirements and our computing curriculum requirements.
