At Two Moors Primary School, we use Purple Mash as a framework for our computing curriculum. We have adapted it slightly to fit with our context and what we know are real key points for our children learning about computing.
Computing assumes an important role as a key curriculum subject and as an essential tool to retrieve and present information across all curriculum areas. All children have access to a variety of technology as an integral part of their studies - this includes Windows laptops, iPads, Microbits, data loggers and more.
When we reviewed our computing curriculum (April 2025), we adapted the Purple Mash scheme of work to fit our school's context. We have moved units around, across year groups and between year groups, whilst still ensuring full curriculum coverage and progression of skills and knowledge. Online safety is taught as discreet units in every year group, but is also woven throughout the rest of the school's curriculum - more information on this is found below.
Read on to find our curriculum road map, progression of skills and knowledge, intent, implementation and impact statements, assessment and retrieval practice and examples of children's work.

As mentioned above, every unit of work in the entire computing curriculum begins with a lesson about a different aspect of online safety. This ensures the 4 'c's (content, commerce, conduct and content) from Keeping Children Safe in Education (2024) are covered, taught and learnt. However, we also teach online safety through other aspects of our curriculum too. Have a look at how, when and where we teach online safety away from computing lessons:
> Any lesson requiring the internet (a research lesson in History, for example): we will remind children of the Acceptable Use Policies that are in place, but also what to do if they see something that upsets or worries them and how to conduct safe, specific searches.
> PSHE lessons: For example, in Year 1 (Healthy Me) 'Keeping Safe'; Year 4 (Healthy Me) 'Peer Pressure'; Year 5 (Relationships) 'Safe Online Communities'; Year 6 (Relationships) 'Taking Responsibility Online'.
> Visitors to school: we have been lucky enough to have visits from our local PCSO who talked to Key Stage Two about the dangers of online bullying and the effects it can have on people, before going into more detail with year five and six about digital footprints and online presences. Year Five also receive an annual visit from SWGfL who deliver online safety workshops for the children.
> School assemblies throughout the year; SLT deliver assemblies to the whole school on a variety of safeguarding topics, one of which is online safety. We talk about different apps, their age limits, their dangers and risks vs their benefits and how to stay safe online.
> Safer Internet Day: each February, we dedicate a day to all things 'online safety' and the children fully immerse themselves in different activities to do with this.
> Parental and community engagement: Our half termly newsletter always has a section about online safety in it with different information for parents and we also post resources from The National College onto our Facebook site explaining the pros and cons of different apps/games etc.
