Computing Overview
At Wark C of E Primary School we are committed to providing a purposeful and empowering curriculum that fully prepares learners for their next steps. We believe that computing is integral to all aspects of life and with this in mind, we endeavour to ensure that children develop a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards computing that will stay with them beyond their time at our school. Computing has the power to make a significant contribution to teaching and learning through experience, conversations and connections, which unite us with the world around us.
Our whole school approach to curriculum design is inspired by Ebbinghaus' curve of forgetting and our Computing curriculum is no different. Through Bruner's spiral curriculum concept children will experience and learn about computer systems and networks, creating digital media, programming and digital literacy. They will revisit these skills throughout their school career, progressively becoming more challenging as they go forward. This will inevitably develop independence, initiative, originality and confidence they need to thrive in the digital world of today and the future.

Social Media
We want our pupils to understand that there is always a choice with using technology and as a school we utilise technology (especially social media) to model positive use. Our vision is to enable all children to be active participants in a digital world.
