Our computing curriculum is designed with the intent to provide all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the digital world confidently and safely. We aim to foster a love for technology and encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. By integrating computing into our broader educational goals, we strive to prepare our pupils for future opportunities in a technology-driven society, ensuring they can participate fully and independently.

We are committed to creating an inclusive learning environment where every child can thrive. Our curriculum is tailored to meet the diverse needs of our students, offering differentiated instruction and adaptive technologies. We believe that by providing equitable access to computing education, we can empower our students to achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong interest in technology.

To implement our computing curriculum effectively, we use a variety of teaching methods and resources that cater to the unique needs of our SEND pupils. Our lessons are designed to be interactive and engaging, incorporating hands-on activities, visual aids, and assistive technologies. We provide individualised support and adjustments to ensure that all students can participate fully in computing lessons.

Our teachers receive ongoing professional development to stay updated on the latest educational technologies and best practices for teaching computing to SEND pupils. We also collaborate with parents and caregivers to reinforce learning at home and ensure a consistent approach to digital education. Regular assessments and feedback help us monitor progress and adapt our teaching strategies to meet the evolving needs of our students.

The impact of our computing curriculum is evident in the increased confidence and competence of our pupils in using technology. By providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment, we see our students develop essential digital skills that will serve them well in their academic and personal lives. They learn to think critically, solve problems creatively, and communicate effectively using digital tools.

Our pupils also gain a deeper understanding of online safety, which is crucial in today's digital age. They become more aware of the potential risks and learn how to protect themselves while navigating the internet. The positive outcomes of our computing curriculum extend beyond the classroom, as pupils apply their skills in various contexts, preparing them for future educational and career opportunities.
