Our Wessex family of schools

Overview of Curriculum Subjects: Computing

We teach a range of subjects in a similar way. Each of these subjects are taught as discrete subjects. This is because we are working on developing a child's schema in that subject. 

Please see our school curriculum model overview for more information. 

For each subject there are milestones. Milestone 1 is reached at the end of Year 2 and Milestone 2 is reached at the end of Year 4. 

We use the computing scheme Teach Computing to teach our computing curriculum.

There are 9 areas of computing that are revisited in different year groups to build on knowledge and skills. Each Year group works on 6 half-termly topics that continue to return to the 9 knowledge categories.

Throughout their time working towards a milestone, children are also progressing in their vocabulary.
