Rose Hill Primary School

“Humans are still the most extraordinary computers of all.” - John F. Kennedy

In line with the National Curriculum for Computing, our aim at Rose Hill is to provide a high-quality computing education. We will endeavour to equip children to be able to participate in a rapidly changing world in which work and other activities are increasingly transformed by access to varied and developing technology. 

The curriculum will teach children key knowledge so that they understand how computers and computer systems work, and how they are designed and programmed. We will show and model how to use technology correctly and confidently as this is an important tool in both the society we live in and in the process of teaching and learning. Children at Rose Hill will use technology to find, explore, research and analyse information for themselves to help them become independent learners in all subjects, as well as Computing.

Three main areas of the computing curriculum will allow the children of Rose Hill to gain a broad knowledge of the skills required to succeed with technology: computer science (programming and understanding how digital systems work), information technology (using computer systems to store, retrieve and send information) and digital literacy (evaluating digital content and using technology safely and respectfully). 

Each key stage will build on prior knowledge and ensure a solid foundation for future education.

“Everything is on the computer – so it’s important you know how to use one safely.” Sam, Year 6
