Computing

Mrs Mullett is our Computing subject leader.

At Shirland Primary School, we use the Wokingham scheme of work to ensure that the National Curriculum objectives for computing are taught. This includes the main areas of computing which are modelling and control, handling data and research and using multimedia programs and apps to produce content.

Online safety is taught across all areas of the curriculum but through PSHE and computing in particular. We use Project Evolve resources to support the children's learning and our team of KS2 i-vengers help to support the other children in school during special assemblies and days such as the Internet safety day every February.

In key stage 1 and 2 we follow the Wokingham Computing scheme of work as recommended by Derbyshire Education Authority. This is available to view in school.

The EYFS framework does not specifically mention computing, however many of the Early Learning Goals are supported and developed through the use of computing skills and software. The table below shows the prerequisite skills for computing within the National Curriculum.
