At Hope School we believe that:

• Computing is best taught by “equipping pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.”
• Children should be provided with as many opportunities to practise using computers so that they become digitally literate.
• Pupils should be taught to use computers safely with a keen awareness of the dangers of the internet.
• Children need to “apply the principles and concepts of computer science.”
• Pupils will be encouraged to problem solve and develop resilience.
• The teaching of computing should be rigorous and ensure that pupils of all abilities make good progress.
• The computing curriculum will have a focus on pupils developing technical vocabulary.

Please refer to the over view below for details of our computing curriculum.
