At St Charles, we provide an exciting, rich, relevant and challenging Computing curriculum for all pupils.
Our Computing curriculum is designed to inspire pupils and prepare them for a rapidly evolving digital world. We aim to develop confident, creative and responsible users of technology who can apply their skills across all areas of learning and life.
Using the Kapow Primary scheme, our curriculum covers three key strands: Computer Science, Information Technology, and Digital Literacy. Pupils explore topics such as programming, data handling, media creation, and online safety through engaging, hands-on lessons tailored to different learning styles.
Computing is taught both discretely and across the wider curriculum, with weekly access to devices and software. Lessons are inclusive, progressive and supported by high-quality resources and teacher CPD to ensure strong subject knowledge and effective delivery.
By the end of their primary journey, pupils will:
- Be digitally literate and safe online
- Understand how technology works and how to use it creatively
- Show clear progression in technical skills
- Be prepared for secondary education and life in a digital society
Our curriculum ensures every child is equipped to thrive as a learner, creator and responsible digital citizen.
