Computing

At Middlewich Primary School, we follow the Purple Mash computing scheme of work to deliver a fun, engaging, and comprehensive computing curriculum. Through this structured programme, children from EYFS to Year 6 develop key skills in coding, digital literacy, online safety, and the use of a wide range of digital tools. The curriculum is designed to build confidence and competence as pupils progress, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and logical thinking. By using Purple Mash, we ensure that our pupils are well-prepared for the digital world, with a strong understanding of how to use technology safely and responsibly.
