Computing Curriculum Statement

Intent

At Biddick Hall Infant and Nursery School, we are dedicated to equipping our children with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in an ever-evolving digital world. Our computing curriculum is designed to develop critical thinkers, problem solvers, and creative, imaginative learners.

Children are taught to design, write, and debug programs, use search technologies effectively, and, most importantly, to use technology safely, respectfully, and responsibly.

We follow the Purple Mash Computing Scheme of Work, which provides a comprehensive set of resources aligned with the National Curriculum. This scheme enables teachers to deliver the very best outcomes for our children by exposing them to a wide range of digital tools, technologies, and innovations.

Pupils gain valuable hands-on experience with modern digital devices while building a strong understanding of the important role technology plays in everyday life.

At Biddick Hall Infant and Nursery School, online safety is a priority. Internet Safety Week is a key event within our school calendar, reinforcing the importance of digital safeguarding.

However, throughout the entire computing curriculum, children are consistently taught how to use technology with care, safety, and respect. In addition, we hold class-based assemblies built around the Education for a Connected World (2020) framework, ensuring our children receive clear, age-appropriate guidance to help them navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.
