"Computing is learning about how computers and other devices work."
Southtown Primary pupils.
The teaching and learning of Computing is essential to the development of children for the world that we live in. We aim to give our children the skills and capabilities to use technology in all aspects of their life as well as being safe in the use of technology. We aim to equip children with the knowledge and skills in Computing to be able to participate in a world that is rapidly changing in terms of technology.
The computing curriculum has been planned and developed so that skills and knowledge are taught and built on across the primary age range to enable children to extend and deepen their understanding as they move through the school. The children are taught computing skills step by step as well as also having opportunities to work independently to develop their skills. Opportunities are given for children for enhancing learning in a number of subjects by using technology.
Children gain knowledge of computing skills and knowledge that will enable them to be ready for the next stage of their education. Children develop knowledge and understanding of how technology works.

Programu ya masomo ya kompyuta imepangwa na kuendelezwa ili ujuzi na maarifa yawe na uwezo wa kufundishwa na kuimarishwa katika umri wa msingi ili kuwezesha watoto kupanua na kuimarisha uelewa wao wanapokuwa wakisafiri kupitia shule. Watoto wanafundishwa ujuzi wa kompyuta hatua kwa hatua na pia kuwa na fursa ya kufanya kazi kwa kujitegemea ili kuendeleza ujuzi wao. Fursa zinapewa kwa watoto ili kuboresha kujifunza katika masomo kadhaa kwa kutumia teknolojia. Watoto wanajifunza ujuzi wa kompyuta na ujuzi ambao utawawezesha kuwa tayari kwa hatua inayofuata ya elimu yao. Watoto huendeleza ujuzi na uelewa wa jinsi teknolojia inavyofanya kazi.
