Computing
Intent
Computing at All Saints is an essential component in our broad and balanced curriculum that supports in preparing each child to live safely in an increasingly digital British society. Our aim is to develop every pupil’s learning which should then, in turn, result in the acquisition of knowledge of the world around them.
‘Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.’
‘What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.’
Steve Jobs
In computing pupils will have the opportunity to:
Understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
Create and debug simple programs
Use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs
Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content
Recognise common uses of information technology beyond school
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
Pupils will be able to develop their skills as computer programmers by:
Using the internet safely
Understanding the different uses of technology
Giving instructions to make things happen
Being able to predict simple patterns
Being able to solve simple problems
Being able to enter, load and save information
Using the internet to find information
