Computing

We believe Computing is an essential skill for life in the modern world. Our Computing curriculum inspires curiosity, creativity, and confidence, equipping pupils with the knowledge they need to thrive in a digital society.

Children learn how technology works and how to use it safely and responsibly. From an early age, pupils explore coding and programming through fun, practical activities, creating animations, games and interactive stories. As they progress, they develop problem-solving skills and learn to think logically and critically.

Online safety is a priority across all year groups. Through dedicated lessons and discussions, pupils understand how to stay safe online, respect others and use technology responsibly. We teach them about privacy, cyberbullying and the importance of creating a positive digital footprint.

Computing also helps promote British values in our school. Children learn to respect others’ ideas, collaborate effectively on digital projects and understand how technology can connect diverse communities.

At Cledford, our engaging Computing curriculum prepares children not only for further education but for life in a rapidly changing world. We are proud to develop confident digital citizens who can use technology creatively, safely and thoughtfully.
