Welcome to Computing
About Our Computing Curriculum
At Steeple Bumpstead Primary the Computing curriculum (Kapow Primary) aims to give our pupils the life skills necessary to embrace and utilise technology in a safe and responsible manner. We believe that through our Computing learning we are preparing children for workplaces of the future, career opportunities that may not have even been invented yet and giving them the skills to thrive in the 21st century.
Through the teaching and learning, our children will become independent users of a range of technologies and devices to become increasingly digitally literate. The learning programme provides opportunities to develop computational thinking and problem solving skills as well as creativity and resilience. A variety of hardware and software is used to support learning across the curriculum, along with necessary tailored accessibility opportunities for every child.
We aim to instil a love for computing in our pupils and hopefully inspire further study of the subject and create responsible and informed digital citizens with an ever strengthening understanding of themselves within a local and global community.
Curriculum Aims
The national curriculum for Computing aims to ensure that all pupils:
- understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation
- analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems
- evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems
- become responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
Our Computing curriculum allows children to create digital work through a range of hardware and software.
- Computational thinking (abstraction, decomposition, pattern recognition and
- algorithms)
- E safety
- Digital literacy
- Computers and hardware
