COMPUTING AT BRACKENBURY
At Brackenbury Primary School, our curriculum introduces children to Computing through a range of exciting resources and engaging learning experiences. From Year 1 onwards, pupils begin their Computing journey and develop a broad foundation of skills across Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy, building progressively through to Year 6. These skills are nurtured through creative, hands-on projects that encourage curiosity and deepen understanding.
We deliver the Computing National Curriculum through the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) scheme of work. This curriculum is built around five key strands of Computing:
- Computing systems and networks
- Programming
- Creating media
- Data handling
- Online safet

Online Safety
At Brackenbury Primary School, Online Safety is taught as a dedicated PSHE unit over a half term, beginning in the Early Years and continuing through to Year 6. We follow Common Sense Media’s scheme of learning, which is recommended by the UK Safer Internet Centre’s Education for a Connected World framework.
Just as our PSHE curriculum prepares children to navigate modern life as informed and active citizens, our Online Safety curriculum equips them to think critically, participate responsibly, and take ownership of their digital lives.
