Curriculum Intent – How we are developing our children to fulfil their potential as computer scientists

Our aim is for children to develop the key skills needed to use technology in a positive, effective, and responsible way:

  • Confidence and competence in coding for both practical tasks and creative projects, including integrating ideas from other subjects.
  • The ability to connect and interact with others safely and respectfully, with an awareness of legal, moral, and ethical responsibilities.
  • A strong understanding of how digital devices are interconnected and how they are used in everyday life.
  • The ability to express and share ideas effectively through the use of digital tools and applications across the curriculum.
  • Proficiency in collecting, organising, and analysing data to support learning and decision-making.
