Computing
At Orchard, we want our Computing curriculum to equip pupils with essential computing skills, digital literacy, and problem-solving abilities, preparing them for an ever-changing digital word.
We follow the NCCE Teach Computing Curriculum.
Designed by experts, based on the latest pedagogical research

Our intent, when teaching Computing, is to inspire children about technology and its role in the world; to promote the children's interest and understanding of digital systems, programming, and the impact of technology on society. We want our children to develop their problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative skills through hands-on experiences and high-quality teaching, building on their knowledge, skills, and interests, and encouraging responsible digital citizenship and ethical use of technology
