By the end of Key Stage 1 and 2, children at Shurdington will have covered the subject content of the National Curriculum through use of iPads, laptops, and practical Computing Activities using the Kapow scheme of work.

The Computing Curriculum supports three areas of the ‘Shurdington Experiences’ part of the curriculum:

• Excel outside of academia.
