At Booker Avenue Infant School, children are given opportunities to develop their computing skills from the very earliest stages. We acknowledge the importance of developing a secure knowledge of computing skills, to equip them for a future in a digital world.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage, children develop their computing skills by exploring a range of different technologies. In Key Stage 1, children follow the Kapow Computing scheme of work. The children work through modules which are carefully planned, and where appropriate are cross curricular and ensure progression across the year groups. Computing is taught across 3 key areas; Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy. E-Safety is embedded into all elements of the curriculum in both EYFS and Key Stage 1 throughout the year, supporting the PSHE curriculum.
