he Computing in the National Curriculum expectations split the teaching and learning of Computing into three strands:
· Computer Science
· Digital Literacy and
· Information Technology
It is therefore important that children recognise the difference between what makes each one relevant to their future, as well as their everyday lives. High quality teaching of Computing, from Reception through to Year 6, utilises a combination of practical lessons and theory lessons designed to promote discussion and nurture understanding, which are also relevant to other areas of the curriculum such as PSHE and Citizenship.
Children will recognise when the use of technology is effective and when it enhances their understanding or the ability to carry out a task. They will use technology across a range of platforms and within a range of curriculum subjects. Children will learn to make decisions about the use of technology, when to use it and what technology to use.
Our Computing Subject Leader is Peter Cunningham.
