Subject Information

At Key Stage 3, our Computing curriculum is designed to give students a strong understanding of how technology works and how to use it confidently, safely, and responsibly.

Throughout Years 7 to 9, students will:

• Learn how computers function and how digital systems are built
• Develop coding skills using languages such as Python and HTML
• Use a range of software to complete real-world tasks (e.g., spreadsheets, presentations, websites)
• Understand online safety, digital responsibility, and the impact of technology on society

We focus on building practical skills, problem-solving ability, and digital creativity—preparing students for both future studies and the demands of the modern workplace. The curriculum supports all learners, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or experience, can achieve success and grow in confidence when using technology.

Our goal is to develop capable, informed, and responsible digital citizens who enjoy computing and are prepared for life in an increasingly digital world.
