Computing

Subject Vision

At Colley Lane  Primary Academy, our aim is to prepare children with the substantive and disciplinary knowledge needed to be active participants in an ever-changing digital world. We will therefore offer opportunities for them to develop the knowledge, creativity and enthusiasm to live and thrive in a world increasingly dependent on computing. They will use the internet in a safe and respectful way, understanding the necessary precautions to take in order to stay safe and knowing where to seek help. Children at Colley Lane  Primary Academy will be digitally literate – able to use a range of media to express themselves and develop ideas through information technology.

Curriculum

At Colley Lane Primary Academy, we aim to provide a computing curriculum that is creative, inclusive, challenging and inspired by the real-world.  

Our bespoke curriculum has been developed by a computing Specialist at Colley Lane Primary Academy amd follows three key strands of learning

  • Digital Literacy 
  • Computer Networks 
  • Coding

Assessment

During the teaching of each curriculum objective, teachers formatively assess the work produced by the children and this helps them to monitor and plan for progression. In lessons, children are given verbal feedback to inform them of their progress and this provides an opportunity for teachers to address any misconceptions or errors that children may encounter.
