Computing Curriculum

At Kells Infants School we view computing as an integral component of the curriculum.  Our overall aim is to enhance learning in all areas of the curriculum through the use of computing.  In the context of the development of the computing strands, it is envisaged that computing will enhance the process of the teaching and learning in all areas of the curriculum. In line with the National Curriculum, we follow the scheme of work and adapt the planning provided by Purple Mash as this supports children transitioning to Monkwray Juniors and provides complete National Curriculum coverage.

Computing is taught directly as a discreet subject but is used in all other lessons to develop confidence, gain skills and maximise learning potential. All pupils in Key Stage 1 have their own iPad. We constantly strive and recognise the need for reviewing and updating our ICT hardware and software in order to keep up with new technological advances.
