At Mandale Mill Primary School, we strive to deliver a high-quality computing curriculum which allows our pupils to recognise the significance of digital technology in their everyday lives. We explicitly teach pupils the skills and knowledge they need to become creative, digitally literate, computational thinkers.

The use of digital technology, especially computers and computer systems is an integral part of the National Curriculum and knowing how they work is a key life skill. In an increasingly digital word there now exists a wealth of software, tools and technologies that can be used to communicate, collaborative, express ideas and create digital content. At Mandale Mill Primary School, we recognise that pupils are entitled to a broad and balanced computing education with a structured, progressive, cyclical approach to the learning of how computer systems work, programming, creative media and data and information. This provides our pupils with the skills necessary to become digitally literate and participate fully in the modern world. Where possible, we make explicit links with mathematics and science to enhance our computing curriculum further.
