Computing
The subject teaches knowledge, skills and understanding across three different areas:
- in computer science, pupils are taught about the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming;
- in information technology, pupils are taught how to use programs and computer systems to create and develop their ideas;
- in digital literacy, pupils are taught how to use online technologies safely, effectively and responsibly.
The children learn about technology in a two year cycle (except children in EYFS) as they progress through the school.
