"Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn."

Stephen Hawking

Computing science is now all around us, from the daily devices we carry to the algorithms that control the traffic lights; we can't escape it.  There is barely a career on the planet that does not use computer science in some respect from a farmer harvesting their crop utilising the latest in global positioning systems integrated into their combine, to an architect designing a modern, eco-friendly dwelling. 

The requirement to be computer literate is plain to see.  It is not enough to simply be able to turn on a computer and word process. The complexities and speed at which technology continues to develop means that a computing curriculum must surpass these basic expectations and ensure all learners have solid foundations in which to continue their learning. We have selected the Kapow scheme of work to support in the delivery of our computing curriculum.
