At St George’s Catholic Primary School, we understand the important value that technology plays in supporting the Computing and whole school curriculum. Our aims are to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for Computing whilst also providing opportunities for pupils to access a wide range of computing concepts and approaches which support the needs of all learners.  

Technology is ever evolving and we aim to develop pupils who can use and express themselves, develop their ideas through, information and communication technology at a suitable level for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world. 

Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy. 
Computer Science - knowledge and skills relating to programming, coding, algorithms and 
computational thinking. 
Information Technology - knowledge and skills relating to communication, multimedia and 
data representation and handling. 
Digital Literacy - knowledge and skills relating to online safety and technology uses all of 
which are covered either combined or discreetly. 

We use and follow the Purple Mash scheme of work from Years R-6, ensuring consistency 
and progression throughout the school and clear coverage of the Computing curriculum. 
Units are practical and engaging and allow computing lessons to be hands on. Units cover a 
broad range of computing components such as coding, spreadsheets, Internet and Email, 
Databases, Communication networks, touch typing, animation and online safety. Purple 
Mash has an online portal of age-appropriate software, games and activities.
