Computing at King Ina Academy
At our school, we aim to provide an engaging and inspiring computing curriculum that equips pupils with the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Using the Kapow Primary Computing scheme, our curriculum develops pupils’ understanding of computer science, information technology and digital literacy.
Through a carefully sequenced programme of learning, pupils develop key skills including programming and coding, computational thinking, problem-solving, debugging, creating digital content and using technology purposefully. Online safety is embedded throughout the curriculum, ensuring pupils understand how to use technology responsibly, safely and respectfully.
Our curriculum covers a range of topics, including algorithms, programming, computer systems and networks, data handling, digital media and online safety. Learning is progressive from Early Years through to Year 6, building on prior knowledge and providing opportunities for pupils to revisit and apply their skills in increasingly challenging contexts.
Computing supports learning across the wider curriculum by developing pupils’ creativity, communication, collaboration, independence and critical thinking. We encourage children to become confident, responsible and discerning users of technology, preparing them with the digital skills they need for the future.
