Computing Curriculum Intention

I am online-safe, online-inspired and online-confident.

At St Joseph’s our mission statement is to understand and use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.

Pupils should learn to:

Understand and apply concepts of a computer, including problem solving, whilst also using them safely.

• We aim to develop progression in Computing by ensuring learning is purposeful, we do this by following the Teach Computing scheme of work.
• We understand the importance of internet safety and embed online safety lessons within our units of work by following Project Evolve.
• We promote online safety regularly to parents and carers and invest in teacher CPD.

At St Joseph's, we follow the Teach Computing computing scheme of work, which delivers a clear progression of skills from Year 1 through to Year 6. This scheme of work includes four flexible units for each year group covering:

• Computing Systems and Networks
