A progressive primary Computing curriculum covering the National curriculum

This document outlines the intent and rationale behind Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme of work, how to implement it and how to measure pupil progress.

It provides a clear framework to help define your school’s approach to teaching primary Computing, align with Ofsted expectations and meet KS1 and KS2 attainment targets outlined in the National curriculum.

Use it to create your school’s ‘Three I’s’ document: what you want pupils to learn, how you implement this in the curriculum’s structure and what pupil outcomes will be.
