Computing
Intent:
At Camps Hill, our intent is to ensure that all pupils and staff become responsible, competent and safe users of technology. We are committed to modelling positive digital behaviours throughout the curriculum and equipping children with the knowledge, skills and confidence to use a wide range of devices, programmes and software for an ever‑growing variety of purposes. We invest in technology and ensure children and staff are confident and competent to use this to maximise learning.
Recognising the rapidly evolving nature of technology, we provide a curriculum that is responsive to new opportunities, tools and online risks. Through personal development, PSHCE and safeguarding education, pupils learn how to navigate the digital world safely and respectfully. We work closely with families to deepen understanding of e‑safety and help children become informed, responsible online citizens.
Our aim is for all pupils to leave Camps Hill as confident, creative and safe digital learners who can use technology effectively in their learning and in their futures.
Implementation:
-
Following the progression in the Kapow Computing Curriculum.
-
Blocked computing lessons taught in class.
- Embedding of technology daily across the curriculum through IWB, using search technology, accessing web-based subscriptions, etc.
- Online subscription to a whole-school remote-learning platform (Tapestry) – used regularly in Pre-School to communicate between school and parents to share progress of in-school and home-learning.
-
Participation of annual E-Safety day with key messages revisited regularly within lessons.
-
Each half term has a specific E-Safety focus in each class.
- Visiting experts brought in to further remind and educate of evolving E-Safety and online dangers.
How we measure impact:
- Formative assessment throughout units of work.
- Summative assessment, annually, using school assessment tracker (Target Tracker)
- Regular monitoring of e-Safety and online incidents on the school’s communication system (CPOMS).
- E-safety questionnaires and wellbeing surveys are carried out with both staff and children.
