ICT/Computing

Computing skills are taught across the school and are used to enhance teaching and learning as part of our thematic approach. St George’s Computing curriculum is based on the Edison Curriculum but also uses LGFL. 

St Georges Computing Curriculum Map

The subject teaches knowledge, skills and understanding across three different areas:

• in computer science, pupils are taught about the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming;
• in information technology, pupils are taught how to use programs and computer systems to create and develop their ideas;
• in digital literacy, pupils are taught how to use online technologies safely, effectively and responsibly.

Look at the progression statements to see what children should learn in each strand each year.

Progression across the school.
