Primary School, our intent is to provide a high-quality computing education that equips pupils with the knowledge, skills and understanding to thrive in a digital world. We aim to develop computational thinking, creativity, and resilience, enabling pupils to solve problems, express themselves, and use technology confidently and responsibly. Our curriculum ensures pupils are digitally literate, prepared for future learning and employment, and able to use technology to participate fully in an ever-changing digital society. Online safety is a golden thread throughout our provision, taught explicitly through **Project Evolve** and **2BeSafe on Purple Mash**, and reinforced across all aspects of school life. ### Implementation - Computing is taught through the **Purple Mash scheme of work**, ensuring progression in **Computer Science, Information Technology, and Digital Literacy**. - Teachers adapt planning to meet the needs of their class and embed computing skills across the wider curriculum to enhance learning. - Online safety is taught explicitly **half-termly** and revisited regularly, making use of **Project Evolve** and **2BeSafe on Purple Mash**, alongside whole-school events such as *Safer Internet Day*. - Pupils have access to a variety of hardware and software, enabling them to apply skills in authentic contexts. - Teachers model effective use of technology and encourage pupils to make independent choices in selecting tools to solve problems and present outcomes. - SEND pupils and those with limited access to technology at home are supported through adapted resources, scaffolding, and equitable access to school technology. ### Impact - Pupils are confident, responsible, and creative users of technology who can apply computational thinking to a range of situations. - They demonstrate progression across all strands of the curriculum and can explain how their learning builds over time. - Online safety teaching ensures pupils understand how to stay safe and behave responsibly online, both in and outside school. - Pupil voice, work scrutiny, and assessment evidence show that computing lessons are engaging, purposeful, and enjoyable. - By the end of primary school, pupils are digitally literate and well-prepared for the next stage of their education, able to contribute positively to the digital world.
