Intent statement

At Primet Primary, our intent is to provide a computing curriculum that equips pupils with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in a digital world. We aim to develop curious, creative, and resilient learners who can think logically, solve problems, and use technology purposefully.

We want all children to understand how technology works, to use digital tools safely and responsibly, and to communicate and collaborate effectively. Pupils will recognise and avoid online safety risks and learn how to navigate the online world successfully, building digital resilience. Our curriculum is designed to build secure foundations, encourage independence, and prepare pupils for the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Implementation

At Primet Primary, computing is taught through the Teach Computing curriculum, ensuring a clear progression of knowledge and skills from EYFS to Year 6. Lessons are carefully sequenced so pupils build confidence in computer science, information technology, and digital literacy, with regular opportunities to revisit and deepen their understanding. Teachers use consistent, research-informed resources and provide hands-on experiences with a range of digital tools to help children learn through doing.

Online safety is taught explicitly and continuously through Project Evolve, allowing pupils to explore real-life scenarios and develop secure, age-appropriate understanding of how to stay safe online. Learning is adapted so all children can access the curriculum, and assessment is used to identify misconceptions early and support pupils in becoming confident, responsible, and thoughtful users of technology.
