Computing

We aim to develop technological skills that are age-appropriate and challenging, starting with using blocks of code in year 1, up to writing some of their own code in year 6. In EYFS, they start their coding experiences by programming Beebots to take simple journeys. We build on children’s skill and knowledge year-on-year so our pupils will be efficient coding and in computational thinking, which is one of the key skills looked for once children leave school.

We aim to develop skills that are age-appropriate and challenging. We wish to enable our children to exchange, organise, manipulate and present information across the wider curriculum effectively.

We believe that word processing is a brilliant tool for enhancing the curriculum and allowing wider opportunities for collaboration and exploration. We aim to both equip the children with the necessary digital literacy skills and to add wonder across the curriculum where possible.

Computing at Marlfields

INTENT: Our Marlfield’s children have a wealth of experiences within the ICT curriculum, which develop their understanding of information and communications technology. They use this wisely, knowing how to keep themselves and others safe. Our curriculum prepares them for the everchanging future of technology in the modern world. 

At Marlfields we follow the ‘National Centre for Computing Education’ Scheme. You can find further information about this progressive curriculum on the link below:
