Computing
Intent
Our Computing curriculum is carefully designed to ensure a progressive and coherent learning journey across all year groups. We believe in a hands-on, practical approach to learning, where pupils are actively engaged in real-world activities that promote problem-solving and collaboration. Our curriculum covers three main strands: computer science, information technology, and digital literacy. By the end of their primary education, pupils will have developed a deep understanding of computational thinking, algorithms, and coding concepts. They will be proficient users of various software tools and show a high level of digital literacy. Pupils will be confident in using technology to enhance their learning experience across the curriculum.
The intent of our Computing curriculum is to
- Empower future innovators and digital citizens.
- Develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.
- Foster digital wellbeing and awareness.

At St Vincent’s we aspire to make the learning ambitious for all learners. Our school curriculum includes the knowledge, skills and life experiences children need to thrive. Our learning is carefully planned and sequenced using the National Curriculum that can be found below:
Knowledge and skills are built on from previous years and there is clear progression in each subject. You can see an overview of progression below:
Each curriculum area is taught across the year and evidenced on a long term plan, divided into half termly blocks. You can see the long term plan below:
