Computing Computing is taught across all six half terms. Each unit of work within computing focusses on different topic areas, and allows children to practise their skills in reading code, writing code, programming and debugging over time. Children use floorbooks to record their written computing work throughout the year.
The National Centre for Computing Education scheme of work is used as a starting point, alongside the Government recommended, "Education for a Connected World" document, which further develops children's understanding of online safety and digital life. |

Teachers use a variety of resources to enable them to plan and deliver lessons effectively, including online resources and various technologies. Knowledge organisers are also used to support children in remembering important knowledge and skills necessary for each topic. These can be found in relevant year groups below too: |
