Computing Curriculum
Computer Science - (core) pupils are taught how digital
systems work, how they are designed and programmed, and
the fundamental principles of information and computation .
Information Technology – computing equips pupils to apply
information technology to create products and solutions.
Digital Literacy – computing provides an opportunity for
pupils to use, and express themselves through, information
and communication technology – at a level suitable for the
future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

Aims for Computing
[All pupils] can understand and apply the fundamental principles and conce
pts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data r
epresentation. (CS)
[All pupils] can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeate
d practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such
problems. (CS)
[All pupils] can evaluate and apply information technology, including new
or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems. (IT)
[All pupils] are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of inf
ormation and communication technology. (DL)
Computational Thinking and Creativity

POS
A minimum entitlement – KS3
Pupils should be taught to:
•design, use and evaluate computational abstractions that model the state and behaviour of realworld problems and physical systems;
•understand at least two key algorithms for each of sorting and searching; use logical reasoning
to evaluate the performance trade-offs of using alternative algorithms to solve the same
problem;
•use two or more programming languages, one of which is textual, each used to solve a variety
of computational problems; use data structures such as tables or arrays; use procedures to write
modular programs; for each procedure, be able to explain how it works and how to test it;
•understand simple Boolean logic (such as AND, OR and NOT) and its use in determining which
parts of a program are executed; use Boolean logic and wildcards in search or database queries;
appreciate how search engine results are selected and ranked;
•understand the hardware and software components that make up networked computer
systems, how they interact, and how they affect cost and performance;
•explain how networks such as the internet work; understand how computers can monitor and
control physical systems;
•explain how instructions are stored and executed within a computer system;
•explain how data of various types can be represented and manipulated in the form of binary
digits including numbers, text, sounds and pictures, and be able to carry out some such
manipulations by hand.

Guidance:
Schools will be able to introduce their o
wn approaches to formative assessment,
to support pupil attainment and progres
sion. The assessment framework should
be built into the school curriculum, so t
hat schools can check what pupils have
learned and whether they are on track
to meet expectations at the end of the
key stage, and so that they can report
regularly to parents.
