Computing

At Greenfields Primary School, our Computing lessons deliver the aims and contents of the National Curriculum Programme of Study for Computing in Key Stage 1 and 2.

E-Safety is an important part of our Computing curriculum and is reviewed and revisited each term, giving children the necessary knowledge to stay safe online.  In conjunction with our PSHE curriculum this meets the objectives of the DfE’s Education for a Connected World framework.

EYFS

Computing is taught in the ‘Understanding the World’ strand of the EYFS curriculum.
