Computing
Intent
At Hill Top we value the computing curriculum. As the world continues to change and technolgies develop, we know it is important to provide our pupils with the knowledge and capabilities to thrive in society. We intend to equip children to become confident consumers and creators of content. We aim to give children equal and progressive exposure to Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy.
Implementation
We use Teach Computing to deliver our computing curriculum.
Inclusive and ambitious 'The Teach Computing Curriculum' has been written to support all pupils. Each lesson is sequenced so that it builds on the learning from the previous lesson, and where appropriate, activities are scaffolded so that all pupils can succeed and thrive. Scaffolded activities provide pupils with extra resources, such as visual prompts, to reach the same learning goals as the rest of the class. Exploratory tasks foster a deeper understanding of a concept, encouraging pupils to apply their learning in different contexts and make connections with other learning experiences. As well as scaffolded activities, embedded within the lessons are a range of pedagogical strategies, which support making computing topics more accessible.
