Our computing curriculum follows the statutory National Curriculum for Computing.
At Red Rose Primary School we provide pupils with a computing curriculum that:
- Gives increasing competence in coding for a variety of first hand practical and inventive purposes, including the application of ideas within other subjects. Building each year on skills that have been learned in previous years.
- Develops their ability to connect with others safely and respectfully, understanding the need to act within the law and with moral and ethical integrity, as a global citizen.
- Gives an understanding of the connected nature of devices.
- Improves their ability to communicate ideas effectively and creatively by using applications and devices throughout the curriculum.
- Develop their ability to collect, organise and manipulate data effectively.

Computing will be delivered through:
- Curriculum time to deliver the collect and coding sections of the computing curriculum.
- The Communicate aspects will be delivered through computing time and also in the wider PSHE curriculum.
