How is Computing taught?
Computing is taught using a clear and practical approach. Children build their knowledge each year, starting with simple skills like clicking, dragging, typing and creating digital art. Each topic is broken down into small steps so children can practice and gain confidence. Children learn how to stay safe online and use technology in a sensible and respectful way. We use a range of programmes that are age-appropriate and engaging. The goal is to make sure all children enjoy using technology and understand how it works in the real world.
