Computing
What are our aims?
In computing, learning is driven by curiosity. Activities and units of work are built around investigation, discovery, analysis and problem solving. We guide children to recognise the importance of staying safe when using computers in school and out of school. Our main aim is to ensure that pupils become digitally literate at a suitable level for the future workplace and as an active participant for the digital world.

Our Computing Curriculum
Intent
Ensure high-quality computing education that equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.
Ensure that computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides children with insights into both natural and artificial systems.
Implementation
Rillington Primary School we use the computing programme Teach Computing.
(teachcomputing.org)
This has been created by the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE). It marks a significant investment in improving the provision of computing education in England. The NCCE is run by an alliance made up of STEM, Raspberry Pi Foundation and BCS. It is funded by the Department of Education. The scheme has also been created by subject experts, using the latest pedagogical research and teacher feedback. The progression of skills can be seen through the curriculum journey below.
