Computing Vision

“In computing, we become confident, safe, and responsible digital citizens.”

Computing Curriculum Intent

Our computing planning and progression is underpinned by the Purple Mash scheme of work. We aim to inspire independent and forward thinkers of technology. We aim to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology that reflects our school rules; being responsible and respectful. When teaching computing, we equip children with the skills required to use computers effectively to enable them to maximise their potential. To do so, we deploy teaching strategies through the Purple Mash scheme of work that promotes resilience, independence, critical thinking, communication skills and problem solving. We intend on delivering a broad curriculum which encourages a love of learning for children within a progressive sequence. We want our pupils to understand that there is always a choice when accessing technology. We aim to keep our pupils’ safe by delivering a high-quality online safety curriculum, which is embedded in our computing curriculum and PSHE curriculum. As technology develops, so does the need for a better understanding of how to use it in a responsible manner. The education of online safety is therefore essential, to ensure our pupils are equipped with the skills to recognise risks online, to be critically aware of the materials and content they access, and how to also keep themselves safe online. We create a supportive environment where children feel safe to explore technology, develop resilience when problem-solving, and grow in confidence as digital learners. By nurturing their curiosity and creativity, we empower pupils to use technology as a tool for learning and self-expression. We encourage children to discover the opportunities that computing provides. From coding and algorithms to digital media and data handling, pupils develop skills of enquiry, logical thinking, and innovation. Our curriculum inspires children to investigate how technology shapes the world and to discover their own potential as future digital creators. We teach pupils to respect themselves and others in the digital world by understanding the importance of online safety, digital citizenship, and responsible use of technology. Upon leaving Bramley St Peter’s, we aim for children to become confident users of computing and be responsible digital citizens who are ready to meet the challenges of their digital future.

At Bramley St. Peter's, we recognise the importance of our children being digitally literate, responsible and safe users of online technologies. Click here to access our online safety page.
