Computing
Our aim at Hambrough Primary School is provide our pupils with a broad and balanced computing education through a structured, progressive, approach to learning how computer systems work. We aim to equip our pupils with the necessary IT knowledge, skills and understanding to become digitally literate and participate fully in the modern world. The use of computers and computer systems is an integral part of the National Curriculum and knowing how they work is a key life skill. In an increasingly digital world there now exists a wealth of software, tools and technologies that can be used to communicate, collaborate, express ideas and create digital content.
Our curriculum allows pupils to develop the following disciplinary skills within the domain of Computing:
- Finding things out
- Developing ideas and making things happen
- Exchanging and sharing information
- Reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses
- Communicate computationally
- Digit Knowledge and responsible citizenship
The following categories of knowledge are used to support pupil retention of information by fostering the development of schemas:
