Computing

"Computing is not about computers anymore. It’s about living" – Nicholas Negroponte (American author and architect)

 

Computing Subject Progression Framework

 

Computing is an essential part of the curriculum, both as a stand-alone subject and as an integral part of all learning. Computers and technology are, in general, a significant part of everyone’s daily life and children need to be equipped to take part in a rapidly changing world. Computing skills are a major factor in enabling children to be confident, creative and independent learners and it is our intention that children have every opportunity available to allow them to achieve this. They should be taught to find, explore, analyse and present information and when they leave school they should be computer literate.
