When teaching Computing at Chigwell Primary Academy, we intend to provide a curriculum which caters for the needs of all individuals and sets them up with the necessary skills and knowledge for them to become successful in their future adventures. We aim to prepare them for a successful working life. Our Computing curriculum is planned so that pupils have a good understanding of the computing concepts, knowledge, skills and vocabulary that run through the three strands: computer science, information technology and digital literacy. This ensures they achieve age related attainment at the end of each Key Stage.

At Chigwell Primary Academy, we are committed to developing digital wisdom in our pupils in order to prepare them for life in an increasingly digital world. Therefore, a strong focus is placed on how to use technology safely and responsibly through the teaching of digital skills, of how technology is used and of how pupils can apply the use of technology in contexts that they can relate to. 

The computing curriculum at Chigwell Primary Academy has been developed using the DfE approved scheme of work from Teach Computing (National Centre for Computing Education) to create sequenced lessons that are suitable for the community and use carefully chosen resources suitable for each key stage.
