Computing
We follow the Purple Mash computing scheme of work which is a comprehensive set of resources aligned to the National Curriculum:
Computing - Understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions.
Technology - Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
Digital Competence - Use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies.
The scheme contains everything that is needed to support the delivering of engaging lessons whilst allowing for the flexibility to meet our individual school needs. We adapt the scheme to include other widely used software such as MS Excel in preparation for High school and beyond.
Each year group builds on prior learning skills. Computing is taught weekly. Children use their own logins, using laptops and ipads, and their work is stored within Purple Mash and folders within our network.
