Computing

At Yew Tree Primary Academy, it is our intention to teach a breadth of areas of Computing that help children to develop their skills and understanding of computing for future life.

We intend on inspiring a love of play, design, code and invention with technology that is inclusive for all. Through this philosophy, computing is taught in five main areas:

Digital Literacy- which looks at life online including staying safe on the internet

Computer Science- which looks at computers, programming and coding that will involve being resilient and determined in order to solve problems

Information Technology- This area explores visual coding, classification, publishing and virtual life.

Byte Size and Fun- Children will learn a plethora of skills helping to enhance their digital understanding including animations, videos and mathematical skills.
