At the Oaktree Federation, our intent is to equip pupils with the knowledge, skills, and digital literacy they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world. We believe computing is not just about coding—it’s about creativity, problem-solving, logical thinking, and responsible digital citizenship.

We aim to:

• Deliver a broad and balanced computing curriculum that covers computer science, information technology, and digital literacy.

• Ensure pupils understand how to use technology safely, respectfully, and responsibly, with a strong emphasis on internet safety and online behaviour.

• Foster curiosity and resilience through hands-on experiences with programming, multimedia, and data handling.

• Embed computing across the wider curriculum to enhance learning and prepare pupils for future opportunities.

• Provide inclusive access to computing, ensuring all pupils—regardless of background or ability—can succeed and enjoy the subject.

Online safety is taught explicitly and revisited regularly, empowering pupils to navigate the digital world with confidence and care. We also engage families and staff in promoting safe and responsible technology use both in and out of school.

Our curriculum builds progression from EYFS to Year 6, preparing pupils for the digital demands of secondary education and life beyond the classroom.
