Computing

Intent, Implementation and Impact

Our curriculum ethos has been specifically designed for our learning community and it supports us to plan and teach and evaluate our success.

I have a voice

At Appletree, pupils are encouraged to express their ideas and creativity through computing. By coding, designing digital content, and collaborating on projects, they develop the confidence to share their work and problem-solving approaches with others.

I reach my potential

Our ambitious computing curriculum ensures every pupil gains the knowledge and skills to use technology effectively and responsibly. Through hands-on tasks in coding, information technology, and digital literacy, pupils build creativity, logical thinking, and computational skills, preparing them for the digital world and future careers.

I have opportunities

Pupils have access to a wide range of devices, software, and cross-curricular projects that allow them to apply their computing knowledge in meaningful contexts. Workshops led by computing experts, extracurricular activities, and practical sessions provide additional chances to explore, create, and innovate.

I am happy and safe

Online safety is at the heart of our computing curriculum. Pupils learn to navigate the internet responsibly, understand digital risks, and develop ethical behaviour online, ensuring a safe and positive learning environment.

I am healthy

Our curriculum promotes a balanced approach to technology, encouraging pupils to use devices thoughtfully and in moderation. By combining screen-based learning with practical, hands-on activities, pupils develop both their digital skills and their overall well-being.
