Computing at Ellistown

At Ellistown Primary School, we believe computing is an essential part of modern life and plays a key role in preparing children for the future. Through our computing curriculum, pupils develop the knowledge and skills needed to use technology confidently, creatively and safely.

Our curriculum is designed to develop children's understanding across the three strands of computing:

• Computer Science – understanding algorithms, programming and how digital systems work.
• Information Technology – using technology purposefully to create, organise and communicate information.
• Digital Literacy – developing the skills to use technology safely, responsibly and effectively.

Computing is taught through a carefully sequenced curriculum that builds knowledge and skills progressively from EYFS to Year 6. Children learn to solve problems, think logically, create digital content and communicate using a range of technologies.

Online safety is woven throughout the curriculum. We teach children how to use technology safely and responsibly, understand potential risks and know where to seek support if they have concerns.

We aim to develop digitally literate learners who are equipped to participate safely, confidently and successfully in an increasingly digital world.
