Computing

At Carpenters we believe that ICT is an integral part of teaching and learning across the entire curriculum.

Every classroom has an interactive whiteboard and most have a touch screen interface which allows for an interactive teaching and learning experience.

In addition to this, each year group has a class set of laptops alongside an increasing number of iPads in order to widen the range of equipment and opportunities we can offer.

Computing at Carpenters is taught in two ways: 

At Carpenters, our computing curriculum is designed to equip every child with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing digital world. We follow the Teach First Computing scheme, which provides a clear, progressive approach to teaching computer science, digital literacy, and information technology.

We celebrate the diversity of our school community and ensure that all pupils—including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)—are supported through inclusive, engaging, and accessible lessons. Every child is given the opportunity to explore technology in a way that builds confidence, curiosity, and creativity.

Online safety is a key part of our curriculum. From the earliest years, children learn how to use technology safely, respectfully, and responsibly. We help pupils develop the awareness and digital resilience they need to navigate the online world both now and in the future.

We also make the most of high-quality digital tools through our LGfL subscription, including engaging platforms like BusyThings, which help bring computing to life in fun and meaningful ways across the key stages.

Our aim is to inspire a generation of responsible digital citizens, confident problem-solvers, and future-ready learners.
