Computing
Intent
At Sutton CP we intend to develop ‘thinkers of the future’ through an ambitious and relevant education in computing. In our ever increasing digital society, we want to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, responsibly and safely. We want to equip pupils to use computational thinking and creativity that will enable them to become active participants in the digital world. We want to ensure that all children can understand and apply the fundamental principles of Computer Science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation, and that they can analyse problems in computational terms. It is important to us that the children understand how to use the ever-changing technology to express themselves, as tools for learning and as a means to drive their generation forward into the future. We want children to develop as respectful, responsible and confident users of technology, aware of measures that can be taken to keep themselves and others safe online. Our aim is to provide a computing curriculum that is designed to acquire a broad and deep knowledge, alongside opportunities to apply skills in various digital contexts, through a range of engaging and motivating learning experiences. Beyond teaching computing discreetly, we will give pupils the opportunity to apply and develop what they have learnt across wider learning in the curriculum.
