Computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.
As Computing is firmly entrenched in many aspects of everyday life, it is essential that all pupils gain the confidence and capability that they need to live and work in a digital world.
My curriculum teaches the knowledge, skills and understanding that pupils need to learn across four different strands:
Information Technology: using software to create documents and multimedia content that may be viewed either on screen or as printed hard copies;
Digital Literacy: skills to use the Internet effectively and safely;
Computer Science – Theory: the knowledge behind how computers, the programs running on them and networks work;
Computer Science – Programming: the skills to instruct computers to complete tasks both on screen and with physical devices.
