Computing at Iver Heath Infant School and Nursery

In the Early Years, Computing is covered as part of the Statutory Framework and is included in 'Understanding the world'. 

By the end of Reception we aim for children to have the opportunity to explore how technology works and to use it to support their learning e.g. the use of child friendly digital cameras. Children will also learn about how to stay safe online.

In Key Stage 1, the children follow the National Curriculum programme of study for Computing. This is taught through units of learning using Purple Mash. Learning is also reinforced through the use of computing skills in other subject areas, making meaningful and memorable connections.
