At Stocksfield Avenue Primary School we provide a high-quality computing education that equips pupils with the foundational knowledge and skills essential for understanding and engaging with the digital world. Our aim is to foster computational thinking, creativity, and resilience while promoting responsible and safe use of technology. We strive to inspire pupils to become digitally literate, confident users of technology, and prepare them for the opportunities and challenges in an increasingly digital society. 

Our computing curriculum develops pupils' understanding of key concepts in computing, including algorithms, programming, data representation, and computer networks. We seek to promote problem-solving and critical thinking skills through engaging, practical activities that encourage discussion, collaboration and experimentation. The school fosters cross-curricular links with other subjects to demonstrate how computing enhances learning and is relevant to real-world scenarios.  

Our curriculum is structured and progressive using a blocked curriculum approach recorded in our computing long term plan. The coverage overview enables year groups to deliver a varied range of computer learning, accessed on a range of devices. We use a variety of high-quality resources, including age-appropriate software, hardware, and online platforms to support teaching and learning. This ensures computer learning is sequential and builds from year group to year group leading to positive outcomes for our pupils. Pupils display enthusiasm for computing, actively participating in lessons, highlighting creativity, and demonstrating resilience when facing challenges.  We also ensure children can access extracurricular activities such as computing clubs, competitions, and industry partnerships to enhance experiences beyond the classroom. 

Children demonstrate a deep understanding of online safety, responsible digital citizenship, and utilising technology effectively to support learning and communication. Learning illustrates clear progression in computational thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills from Early Years to the end of Key Stage 2, preparing pupils for future learning and career pathways. Pupils leave school with the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in a digital age while fostering a culture of innovation, responsibility, and excellence.
