Computing – Subject Intent
We will build a computing curriculum that develops children’s learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge of the world around them.
This will ensure all children can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation, can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems.
