Through the programme of study for computing, primary school-aged children learn the fundamental principles and processes of computation; they gain repeated, practical experience of writing code to solve problems and to model systems; they also become skilled at creating high quality products and content using digital technology; and they become safe, responsible and critical users of technology.
This primary handbook is broken down into three sections:
- Computing subject knowledge with suggestions for tried-and-tested classroom activities to run in school (see pages 6–49)
- Advice for planning, teaching and assessing the computing curriculum (see pages 50–55)
- Guidance for running computing CPD sessions (see pages 56–59).
