The Computing curriculum at Stretton CE Academy will ensure that all children leave our school with a love, understanding and a deep body of knowledge for Computing and technology, and how these impacts on the world in which we live. We believe Computing is essential to ensure we develop future generations who can contribute fully to society and the workplace.

Our curriculum is sequenced coherently using the Teach Computing Curriculum Scheme of work created by The National Centre for Computing Education, so that our pupils will have the confidence and motivation to continue to further develop their skills into the next stage of their education and life experiences. Progressive keyboard and computing skills are interweaved throughout the scheme and are then used to support learning in a cross curricular capacity.

This is facilitated by providing quality digital equipment, age-appropriate Apps and software, laptops and iPads.  Each unit also ensures that the pupils are taught about being safe when using Computing so that they can become responsible digital citizens.  Children have one-hour weekly lessons in Computing throughout Key Stage 1 and 2. as well as cross-curricular opportunities to practice and apply their learned skills and where appropriate, computing lessons may be linked with that year groups theme.
