Our Computing Curriculum is designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum for Computing. Our aim is to provide a high-quality computing education which equips children to use computational thinking and creativity to understand the world. The curriculum will teach children key knowledge about how computers and computer systems work, and how they are designed and programmed. Learners will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of computational systems of all kinds, whether or not they include computers. Through the use of Cumulative Questioning and quizzes we ensure that by the time children leave Bushey Primary Education Federation, they will have gained key knowledge and skills in the three main areas of the computing curriculum; computer science (programming and understanding how digital systems work), information technology (using computer systems to store, retrieve and send information) and digital Literacy (evaluating digital content and using technology safely and respectfully). We aim to offer our children the opportunity to develop depth in their knowledge and skills over the duration of each of their computing topics. 

Our Curriculum:

E-safety

At our school we value and ensure our children have digital literacy skills. As a community we understand the importance of these skills and the need for them to be constantly updated in line with new trends, apps etc. With this in mind we started of our year with a poster making competition. All the year groups followed a Purple Mash unit as a basis. We then extended this learning by using apps and websites such as 'Be Internet Legends' to really ensure the children's knowledge was as current as possible.
