Overview

  • Are you confident that the computing curriculum is being well delivered across the school, or would like ideas on how to bring a ‘wow’ to computing lessons?
  • Are all teachers working together to deliver a consistent, well planned curriculum, and has computing come to life and captured your pupil’s imaginations?

Teaching the Primary Computing Curriculum

It is a sad fact that for many schools the introduction of the primary computing curriculum at Key stages 1 & 2 has been patchy. The gaps in teachers understanding have meant that the great potential of this exciting new subject has not been realised.

Why is Primary Computing so important?

Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems.

Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.
