At Godmanchester Bridge Academy we follow the Kapow Primary Computing scheme of work, which aims to inspire pupils to be instil a sense of enjoyment around using technology and to develop pupil’s appreciate of its capabilities and the opportunities technology offers to, create, manage, organise and collaborate.
Tinkering with software and programs forms a part of the ethos of the scheme as we want to develop pupil’s confidence when encountering new technology, which is a vital skill in the ever evolving and changing landscape of technology. We intend for pupils to not only be digitally competent and have a range of transferable skills at a suitable level for their future, but also to be responsible online citizens.
The scheme of work enables pupils to meet the end of Key Stage Attainment levels outlined in the National curriculum and the aims align with those in the National curriculum. In conjunction with our schools RSE and PSHE schemes, our computing scheme of work satisfies all of the objectives of the DfE’s Education for the Connected World framework. This guidance was created to help equip children for a life in the digital world, including developing their understanding of appropriate online behaviour, copyright issues, being discerning consumers of online information and healthy use of technology.
