Computing

Melbourn Primary School

Children at Melbourn Primary School gain computing knowledge and skills step by step from Early Years to Year 6. They start with basic skills like using a keyboard, painting on a computer and taking an effective photo. As they progress through the school, they learn to make animations, podcasts, videos and even design web pages. In programming, they begin by following instructions and solving simple problems and move on to creating their own programs using loops and conditions. They also learn how computers and networks work, including how to stay safe online. The curriculum builds on what children already know, helping them learn through doing and exploring.
