Intent
The beauty of computing is that it helps develop our digital literacy skills and prepares us for the ever-changing world of technology.
At The Tynings, we aim to develop coders that understand how technology works and impacts our world and how to use and access this technology safely.. A Tynings’ coder will be able to:
- Explain and understand how computer systems work.
- Use a range of different softwares for purposes including programming, media production and data analysis.
- Stay safe online.
Macro and micro progression
Our computing curriculum is built around 4 key areas, these are:
These Macros form the basis of our computing curriculum and these progress in the form of micro concepts to ensure knowledge is building on previous learning.
E-Safety
Teaching the children to digital literate whilst remaining safe is at the heart of our curriculum. To do this, we start every lesson with an input of E-Safety. These are taken from Project Evolve and help use cover and wide range of scenarios that will help the children remain safe online.
Being a coder…
To help us develop our skills, we have categorised them into 5 areas that will help the children progress on prior units and allow them to fully access their learning. These skills build in different units and are taught using different software so children get the chance to develop their skills in different scenarios.
Teach Computing
To help us meet our intent, we use the Teach Computing scheme of work. Teach Computing comprises of the same areas of progression as our macro concepts and allow us to really delve into the thinking behind being digitally literate.
