Curriculum Intent
Our Digital Skills (computing) curriculum supports young people to develop essential digital skills for life, learning, and future employment. We believe that computing serves as a gateway to communication, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. For our learners, computing offers structured and purposeful activities that can build confidence, resilience, and independence.
