--- title: "Computing" url: "https://www.st-johnfisher.merton.sch.uk/curriculum/computing" school: "St. John Fisher RC Primary School" --- # Computing ## Computing At St John Fisher, we recognise that children are living within an increasingly technological world and aim to provide them with the skills and knowledge to be confident in this area. Through our teaching of computing, we aim to develop confident, independent learners who are able to plan, design, create, program and evaluate information through the use of technology. We realise the importance of considering both the benefits and risks of technology, with online safety integrated throughout computing lessons, as well as the wider curriculum. We teach a progressive computing curriculum in which pupils can demonstrate an understanding of the skills, knowledge and vocabulary relevant to their age, whilst frequently revisiting the skills and knowledge they have learned in prior years, in order to maximise pupil progress. At St John Fisher, we use the ‘Kapow’ scheme from Year 1 to Year 6 to meet the aims of the National Curriculum. The scheme aims to develop pupils’ computational thinking and creativity, so that they can ‘understand and change the world'.
