Intent

The intent is to develop technological skills that are age-appropriate and challenging, which enable children to be at the forefront of current and future developments in the ever-evolving technological world.

​

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 skills 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.

Word Processing

​

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.
