Long Term Plan

Over an academic year children complete a range of computing projects.

Each project has a goal, for example: to create an onscreen game for another class to play, to create a virtual Anglo Saxon Village in a Minecraft world or to create piece of digital art in a particular artist style.

All pupils have access to iPads and Chromebooks which are used to support, enhance and extend learning in other curriculum subjects. These resources are used to provide opportunities for collaborative work, communicating with different audiences, and to improve digital literacy.

E-safety knowledge and understanding continues to be at the centre of our Computing curriculum.

Pupils’ understanding of e-safety is very good, demonstrating effective teaching and learning.” Healthy Schools Audit January 2020

Achievement Statements (AS)

This is a list of the aims of the schools Computing curriculum (it is what we intend to teach!) At the completion of a project pupils are assessed against these aims and a continuous record is kept of the achievement statements which the majority of pupils in a class are secure in. This in turn informs future planning and enables progress to be monitored.

We have linked our achievement statements to the National Computing Curriculum. Download a complete copy of our achievement statements.
