Intent

At Ripple Primary School, we want our pupils to be masters of computing and technology. We recognise that, whilst some of our pupils seem to naturally flourish in computing, others need more support to reach their full potential. At our school, we aim to give every pupil an outstanding computing education, equipped with computational thinking, opening up future study and employment routes and closing attainment gaps. One way we achieve this is by providing opportunities for our learners to use computing effectively in their everyday lives by delivering knowledge and skills in four main areas of computing curriculum:

• computing systems and networks
• creating media
• data and information
• programming

At Ripple Primary School we follow the ‘Teach Computing’ scheme of work. By doing so, we hope to raise the profile of computing within our school and develop a lifelong passion for computing. We achieve this by following a sequence of lessons that build on previous learning; equipping them for an ever-changing digital world.
