Computing Curriculum Intent 

At Heathfield Academy, we aim to prepare our learners for their future by giving them the opportunities to gain knowledge and develop skills that will equip them for an ever changing digital world. Our Computing curriculum focuses on a progression of skills in digital literacy, computer science, information technology and online safety to ensure that children become competent in safely using, as well as understanding, technology. Our learning sequence across a half term allows children to learn and develop computing skills and then apply them to a project which links to the wider curriculum learning. It is imperative that each lesson incorporates a safeguarding scenario and a chance for children to develop their digital literacy.
