Computing

As a school, we have chosen the Purple Mash Computing Scheme of Work from Reception to Year 6. The scheme of work supports our teachers in delivering fun and engaging lessons which help to raise standards and allow all pupils to achieve to their full potential. We are confident that the scheme of work more than adequately meets the national vision for Computing. It provides immense flexibility, strong cross-curricular links and integrates perfectly with the 2Simple Computing Assessment Tool. Furthermore, it gives excellent supporting material for less confident teachers.

Lumbertubs Primary School believes that every child should have the right to a curriculum that champions excellence; supporting pupils in achieving to the very best of their abilities. We understand the immense value technology plays not only in supporting the Computing and whole school curriculum but overall in the day-to-day life of our school. We believe that technology can provide: enhanced collaborative learning opportunities; better engagement of pupils; easier access to rich content; support conceptual understanding of new concepts and can support the needs of all our pupils.

Our aims:

• Provide an exciting, rich, relevant and challenging Computing curriculum for all pupils.
• Teach pupils to become responsible, respectful and competent users of data, information and communication technology.
• Enthuse and equip children with the capability to use technology throughout their lives.
• Give children access to a variety of high-quality hardware, software and unplugged resources.
• Equip pupils with skills, strategies and knowledge that will enable them to reap the benefits of the online world, whilst being able to minimise risk to themselves or others.
• Instil critical thinking, reflective learning and a ‘can do’ attitude for all our pupils, particularly when engaging with technology and its associated resources.

Online safety has a high profile at Lumbertubs Primary School for all stakeholders.  We provide a relevant up-to-date online safety curriculum which is progressive from Early Years to the end of Year 6.
