Intent

Our computing curriculum here at Manor Farm Junior School is designed to foster a genuine enthusiasm for technology, encouraging pupils to explore its potential and understand the diverse ways it can be used to create, organise, manage and collaborate. We aim to build pupils’ confidence in navigating unfamiliar digital tools—an essential skill in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape.

By engaging with our curriculum, pupils will develop strong digital competencies and acquire a broad set of transferable skills that prepare them for future academic and professional environments. Equally important, we place a strong emphasis on cultivating responsible and informed online behaviour, creating knowledgeable digital citizens.

Our curriculum is structured around the Kapow scheme of work, ensuring coverage of the Key Stage 2 national curriculum for computing. It also aligns with the Department for Education’s Education for a Connected World framework, supporting pupils in becoming safe, capable and ethical users of technology.
