At Wallop Primary School it is our intention to enable children to have the skills and confidence to work in a world where technology is always advancing and evolving. We want children to develop their skills in information technology and their computational thinking so that they leave primary school ready to access the key stage 3 curriculum and use technology effectively outside of the classroom.

We aim to give children opportunities to explore key areas of computing including the following:

• safe use of the internet
• understanding computer systems and networks
• creating media
• data and information
• programming and computational thinking

Through the teaching of computing at Wallop, we aim for children to secure core knowledge in these areas, develop skills which can be applied to both familiar and unfamiliar technologies and feel empowered to make safe and responsible choices when using technology.
