Computing

At King’s Park Academy, Computing is a key part of preparing pupils for a digital world. Using our computer suite, laptops, tablets, and VR headsets, children develop essential digital skills through engaging, hands-on experiences.

We follow a full scheme of work authored by primary computing specialists, using free, accessible software. The curriculum is mapped to the Education for a Connected World framework and the DfE’s Teaching Online Safety in Schools guidance. Teacher and pupil videos support confident and consistent delivery across all year groups.

Key Learning Areas:

• Digital literacy – Using technology confidently and responsibly
• Online safety – Understanding how to stay safe and respectful online
• Computational thinking – Developing logic, reasoning, and problem-solving
• Coding – Creating and debugging programs using block and text-based languages
• Computers and hardware – Gaining hands-on experience with a range of digital tools
• Cross-curricular application – Applying computing skills in subjects like Maths, Science, and Art

With clear progression from EYFS to Year 6, our Computing curriculum ensures all pupils become safe, capable, and creative digital learners.
