Curriculum Intent

The purpose of the computing curriculum is to equip children with the skills and knowledge they need to use technology safely and creatively. Children will not just memorise facts and vocabulary but understand how to solve complex problems, collaborate with others and reflect on prior learning.

They will do this through a range of exciting creative activities and open ended challenges that cover the essential requirements of the computing program of study. They will learn to become independent and to have fun with technology, developing skills needed to thrive in a technological world.

Curriculum Aims

Dovecot Primary School believes that every child should have the right to a curriculum that champions excellence; supporting pupils in achieving to the very best of their abilities. We understand the immense value technology plays not only in supporting the Computing and whole school curriculum but overall in the day-to-day life of our school.
We believe that technology can provide: enhanced collaborative learning opportunities; better engagement of pupils; easier access to rich content; support conceptual understanding of new concepts and can support the needs of all our pupils. This is why we have chosen to use Purple Mash for our Computing Scheme as the scheme of work supports our teachers in delivering fun and engaging lessons which help to raise standards and allow all pupils to achieve to their full potential.
