Computing at St Joseph's goes beyond the national curriculum, and is a subject continually being updated and reflecting the everchanging technological landscape including units on physical computing, industry-standard software and AI. The subject is taught using the Purple Mash Computing Scheme of Work in the EYFS, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two.

Through a strong progression of knowledge and skills, children at St Joseph's are challenged to become independent users of technology. 

We ensure children become proficient at:

• Computer Science
• Digital Literacy
• Information Technology
• Online Safety

Our computing curriculum takes a spiral approach to learning and includes over 50 highly integrated units which are intended to introduce, build and deepen knowledge for all children. Teachers use and adapt fully planned and resourced units of work which utilise information technology as part of every discrete computing lesson. For example, incorporating art and design or sound into programs that children are designing and coding, or using the practice of algorithmic thinking to plan out an animation, a story or a presentation - demonstrating logical chunks of information that flow together as a whole.
