Computing

At Barnacre Road Primary School, our vision is to provide for our children a broad and balanced curriculum which is ambitious for all learners. We aim to ensure that children leave our school equipped with the knowledge, skills, cultural capital and qualities to succeed in the next stage of their education and to make a positive contribution to their local community and society as a whole.

We believe that it is our duty to make learning fun, engaging, memorable, accessible and ambitious for all children, instilling in them a love of learning.

We follow the Kapow Computing Scheme. Our scheme of work fulfils the statutory requirements outlined in the National curriculum (2014). The National Curriculum Programme of Study for Computing aims to ensure that all pupils:

- Can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation.

- Can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems.

- Can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems.

- Are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.
