Computing Milestones

2020-21

Preparing our pupils for the digital world; unlocking the potential Our Computing Promise: Through our teaching of computing, we equip our children to thrive in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology.

At Bishop Martin, the teaching of computing is underpinned by e-safety being central to the curriculum. Whilst showing children the benefits of using new technologies, we are also rigorous about teaching them how to use technology safely and responsibly. We also aim to empower parents and carers with information regarding keeping children safe online. Our Computing webpage and Online Safety policy have more information regarding this.

We follow the Knowsley Computing Scheme of Work from Foundation Stage to Year 6 to ensure progression in knowledge and skills, as well allowing children to confidently build their subject-specific vocabulary. Children in all key stages learn computer programing and coding, testing and debugging and become confident with this by the end of Key Stage Two. Children are encouraged to become independent learners by taking problems apart, analysing them and applying their knowledge to solve problems.

Aims of the National Curriculum: The national curriculum for Computing aims to ensure that all pupils:    

Can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representations.

Can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experiences of writing computer programs in order to solve problems.

Can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems.

Are responsive, competent, and confident and create users of information and communication technology.

School Defined Milestones ‘Milestones’, ‘Statements’, ‘Vocabulary’ and ‘Content’  

In Computing at Bishop Martin, the Milestones on which pupils are assessed against are within the school Tracking system, ‘Target Tracker’ as the defined ‘Statements’.

Teachers use the ‘exemplars’ and ‘Progress Indicators’ alongside the ‘Statements’ to guide the evidencing of pupils reaching these Milestones  Teachers plan and teach Computing in line with the Milestones within this document and alongside the Knowsley Scheme of Work.
