Computing

Computing teaching offers opportunities for pupils to view their world in an ever-changing technological environment. There is a focus on computational thinking and creativity, as well as opportunities for creative work in programming and digital media.

The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils:

- 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

- can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems

- are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology
