Our high-quality computing curriculum has been divided into three key areas: Computer Science (programming and understanding how digital systems work); Information Technology (using computer systems to store, retrieve and send information) and Digital Literacy (evaluating digital content and using technology safely and respectfully). The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, children are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate; they are able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology.
At Tanfield Lea, our bespoke curriculum is delivered using a blocked curriculum approach. Children are taught discrete computing lessons, where the skills and knowledge that are fostered are cumulative, progressive and transferable throughout other subjects.
We want our children to be able to operate and thrive in the 21st century. This is why the subject-specific knowledge and skills developed in our Computing curriculum equip children with experiences which will prepare them for secondary school, further education and future workplaces, allowing them to set career goals within: web design, games development, cyber intelligence, software engineers and education.
