Computing
Intent:
Within an ever changing and technological world, Burnham on Crouch Primary School understands and values the importance of teaching Computing from a young age. We acknowledge that future generations will rely heavily on their computational confidence and digital skills in order to support their progress within their chosen career paths.
Therefore, it is our school’s aim to equip children with the relevant skills and knowledge that is required to understand the three core areas of Computing (Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy) and to offer a broad and balanced approach to providing quality first teaching of this subject.
Computing is an integral part to a child’s education and everyday life. Consequently, we intend to support our pupils to access and understand the core principles of this subject through engaging and activities. Whilst ensuring they understand the advantages and disadvantages associated with online experiences, we want children to develop as respectful, responsible and confident users of technology, aware of measures that can be taken to keep themselves and others safe online.
Our aims for Computing at Burnham on Crouch Primary School are:
- To instill an enthusiasm and appreciation of Computing via engaging and well-planned lessons, allowing children to use their skills to create and develop new ideas in conjunction with the National Curriculum, which provides progression and a breadth of knowledge across all year groups.
- To ensure Computing is taught weekly and opportunities for cross-curricular links are made.
- To identify real world examples and creative challenges in which pupils can explore and extend their understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of Computing.
- To ensure that pupils develop a respectful and responsible attitude towards using information and communication technology, especially with regards to their own and other’s safety.
- To provide a safe space in which pupils can navigate and interact with the digital world, whilst exploring their own personal expression and identity.

STEM part 2: Year 5 took part in our first STEM Enrichment session on 13th September. The theme of the day was: Witches and Wizards. The children attended Potions class during the morning where they carried out a range of experiments and then made ice cream and lemonade. Care of Magical Creatures was next , where the children designed, using a CAD programme, and made bird perches for Hedwig using woodwork skills.
Here are some comments from the children:
“I enjoyed it so much.” Mia
“It was so fun” Jack
“I loved it!” Ava
“It was really exciting.” Sienna
“I had a truly wonderful time.” Daisy
“ I want to be an engineer.” Rosa
“I love STEM!” #stemeducation #psqm
