Why do we teach Computing?

How do we teach Computing?

Computing at Woodfield Primary School will ensure that by the time children leave at the end of KS2, they will be able to safely and responsibly work with a range of digital technology-based software and hardware to see the impact that technology has on our lives and the wider society.  

E-safety is a principal theme that is embedded throughout our curriculum. Ultimately, the children of Woodfield Primary School will leave KS2 with knowledge of how to be safe members of the digital world beyond our school with confidence. 

At Woodfield, Computing is planned collaboratively between cohort classes’ in-line with the National Curriculum 2014 objectives and the Computing Progression Document.  

At The Rose Learning Trust, we predominantly follow the UK digital curriculum from Common Sense Education.  This curriculum introduces children to the 6 key themes of:

• Media Balance & Wellbeing
