We aim to give our pupils high quality, enjoyable and memorable learning experiences through access to a range of digital and electronic software and hardware. Computing is taught weekly using our laptops during Foundation Footsteps day in KS1, with skills development further enhanced through Foundation Footsteps by specialist staff.

​

Kapow Primary's Computing scheme aims to instil a sense of enjoyment around using technology and to develop pupils' appreciation of its capabilities and the opportunities it offers to create, manage, organise and collaborate. "Tinkering" with software and programs forms part of the ethos of the scheme, as we want to develop pupils' confidence when encountering new technology — a vital skill in the ever-evolving landscape of technology. Through our curriculum, we intend for pupils not only to be digitally competent with a range of transferable skills suitable for the future workplace, but also to be responsible online citizens.

​

The implementation of Kapow Primary Computing ensures broad and balanced coverage of the national curriculum requirements, and the "skills showcase" units give pupils the opportunity to learn and apply transferable skills. Each session begins with a question to spark children's curiosity, encouraging them to use technology to find answers, while being taught and encouraged to apply correct computing vocabulary throughout. Units are linked to other subjects such as science, art and music, enabling cross-curricular learning.
