Computing – curriculum information
Our computing curriculum provides a progressive and engaging journey from EYFS to Year 6, developing pupils’ digital literacy, computer science knowledge, and information technology skills. Through a broad range of learning experiences, children explore computing systems and networks, programming, digital media creation, data handling, and online safety. The curriculum is carefully sequenced across a two-year cycle, enabling pupils to build knowledge and skills over time while revisiting key concepts. Online safety is embedded throughout all year groups through the Project Evolve framework, ensuring pupils learn how to use technology safely, responsibly, and confidently in an increasingly digital world.
