At Aycliffe Community Primary School, we want pupils to become confident, responsible and capable users of technology. Through Computing, pupils develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand and use technology effectively, creatively and safely, preparing them for an increasingly digital world.

We follow the Kapow Primary Computing curriculum, using its mixed-age pathway to ensure that learning is carefully sequenced across our two-year curriculum cycles. Pupils progressively develop their understanding of computer science, information technology and digital literacy, including how technology and information can be used safely and responsibly.

Learning builds upon what pupils already know, providing opportunities to apply computational thinking, create digital content, solve problems and make purposeful use of technology. Teachers adapt teaching appropriately to meet pupils' individual needs while maintaining ambitious expectations for all.

Assessment
Teachers use pupils' digital and recorded work, discussion and questioning alongside Kapow's assessment opportunities to identify what pupils know, understand and can do and to inform future teaching.
