Intent

In line with the 2014 National Curriculum for Computing, our aim is to provide a high-quality computing education which equips children to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. The curriculum will teach children key knowledge about how computers and computer systems work, and how they are designed and programmed. Learners will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of computational systems of all kinds, whether or not they include computers. 

By the time they leave Ripple Primary, children will have gained key knowledge and skills in the four main areas of the computing curriculum: 

• Computing systems and networks
• Creating Media
• Data and information
• Programming

The objectives within each strand support the development of learning across the key stages, ensuring a solid grounding for future learning and beyond.
