Computing

Welcome to Primary Phase Computing

At William Hulme’s Grammar School, our Computing curriculum aims to equip our children with the knowledge and skills to be Master of Technology, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills that they can apply in real-life situations. In our ever-changing world, technology will play a pivotal role in our children’s lives, and it is therefore crucial that children can use technology positively, responsibly and safely. Our broad curriculum is designed to support children in making informed and positive choices about the way they use technology by introducing them to the three key disciplines within Computing: Computer Science, Digital Literacy and Information Technology.

These disciplines are split into five vertical concepts that enable children to make connections between topics across different year groups. The way that concepts are revisited over time is designed to develop mastery, allowing children to recall and apply what they have learnt over time.
