Computing

Subject Leader – Mr Stout  

Computing Long Term Plan

At Whitkirk Primary School, we are Digital Innovators! We want our children to develop a love of Computing and grow up with ambitions to become software engineers, video game designers, web developers or IT consultants.

The core of our Computing curriculum is Computer Science in which pupils are introduced to a range of technology, including computers and iPads, allowing them to continually practise and improve the skills they learn. Our children are taught how to use technology responsibly and carefully, being mindful of how their behaviour, words and actions can affect others.  

Purple Mash, a cloud-based platform, is used throughout school to support the delivery of our Computing Curriculum. In addition, it enables us to forge cross-curricular links throughout other areas of the curriculum.
