Computing
At King Richard III we want to help young children learn important digital skills and how to stay safe online. Our goal is to teach them the basics of using technology, like typing, using a touchpad, and writing on a computer. We also introduce them to simple coding so they can start learning how to program. We use parts of the Teach Computing KS1 scheme to make lessons fun and help students gain problem-solving skills for the digital world.
Computing in EYFS and KS1
In Early Years (EYFS), we focus on Online Safety and simple Computational Thinking, such as spotting patterns and understanding directions.
In Key Stage 1 (KS1), our Computing lessons cover four key areas:
Programming – Learning how to create simple computer programs.
Purposeful IT Use – Using computers to complete tasks and solve problems.
Common IT Use – Understanding how technology is used in everyday life.
Online Safety – Learning how to stay safe when using the internet.
Keeping Children Safe Online
One of our key aims at KRIII teach children to use the internet in a safe and responsible way. This includes:
Being kind and respectful when using digital platforms.
Creating strong passwords and knowing how to avoid online dangers.
Recognising online bullying and knowing how to report it.
Understanding the risks of sharing personal information and asking adults for help when needed.
We also work closely with parents and guardians, offering advice to help create a safe online environment at home as well as in school.
Managing Screen Time
We understand that children today spend more time using devices. To promote a healthy balance, we:
Reduce unnecessary screen time and encourage physical play and social activities.
Ensure that any screen time given in school is necessary to provide valuable learning
Provide parent workshops to help families manage screen time wisely.
By including all these important topics in our Computing curriculum, we help children build digital skills while using technology safely and responsibly. Our students leave King Richard III ready to use technology in a smart and thoughtful way, ready to encounter an ever-more digital world.
