The curriculum will teach children key knowledge about how computers and computer systems work, and how they are designed and programmed. Learners will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of computational systems of all kinds, whether or not they include computers. By the time they leave our school, children will have gained key knowledge and skills in the three main areas of the computing curriculum: computer science (programming and understanding how digital systems work), information technology (using computer systems to store, retrieve and send information) and digital literacy (evaluating digital content and using technology safely and respectfully). The objectives within each strand support the development of learning across the key stages, ensuring a solid grounding for future learning and beyond. ### Computing Documents Computing Curriculum Statement 39 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2/files/documents/Computing_Curriculum_Statement_St._Mary-s.docx) Primary Computing Journey at St. Mary's 386 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2/files/documents/primary-journey-progress-map.pdf) ![St. Mary's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Mary's Catholic Primary School Central Avenue Newton Aycliffe Co.
