How we Learn Computing at Earith Primary School: Intent, Implementation & Impact
Intent It is our intent for pupils: To feel a sense of enjoyment around using technology. To develop an appreciation of the capabilities and opportunities technology offers to create, manage, organise & collaborate, and be able to use a variety of software and hardware to achieve their aims. To have confidence when encountering new technology, vital in a world where technology is ever-changing. To have a range of transferable skills at a suitable level for the future workplace. To be responsible citizens online and be able to report/deal with any problems in an appropriate manner. The school uses Kapow Primary Computing in order to support the delivery of the Earith Computing Curriculum. The content of Kapow Primary Computing allows children to meet the National Curriculum end of key stage attainment targets, as well as satisfying the requirements of the DfE’s Education fora Connected World framework.
