Computing Curriculum 

At The Duston School, we use the Barefoot Computing at School for the planning of computing in EYFS and the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) curriculum to teach computing in Years 1-6, to ensure that our children are offered a progressive curriculum, where skills are revisited, developed and extended year on year. Units are carefully scaffolded to develop technical programming skills, an understanding of computer systems and networks as well as the ability to present information or create media. Teacher’s subject knowledge and confidence is supported through the teaching resources and guides which run alongside each unit plan.  

Whilst recognising the benefits that technology brings, children are taught about the risks that the technological world can present. They learn strategies to ensure safe and positive experiences, whilst using technology, at an age-appropriate level. We follow the Project Evolve – Education for a Connected World’ framework to ensure the progressive, up to date teaching of Online Safety throughout all year groups.
