At St Barnabas and St Helena's Federation our aim is to provide a high-quality and comprehensive computing education which equips children to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. The curriculum used  is designed by the National Centre of Computing Education to teach children the key knowledge about how computers and computer systems work, how they are designed, and how they are programmed. Learners will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of computational systems of all kinds, whether they include computers or not. Our teaching throughout the year groups is progressive and by the time the children leave they will have gained key knowledge and skills in the three main areas of the computing curriculum: computer science (programming and understanding how digital systems work), information technology (using computer systems to store, retrieve and send information) and digital literacy (evaluating digital content and using technology safely and respectfully). The objectives within each strand support the development of learning across the key stages, ensuring a solid grounding for future learning in key stage 3 and beyond.
