--- title: "Computing Key Stage 2" url: "https://enfieldacademy.co.uk/important-information/curriculum/ks2-computing" school: "Enfield Academy of New Waltham" --- # Computing Key Stage 2 ### Computing Aims The National Curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils: - can understand and apply the fundamental principles of computer science, including logic, algorithms, data representation, and communication - can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems - can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems - are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology. ### Key Stage 2 Pupils should be taught to: - design and write programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts - use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output; generate appropriate inputs and predicted outputs to test programs - use logical reasoning to explain how a simple algorithm works and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs - understand computer networks including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the world-wide web; and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration - describe how internet search engines find and store data; use search engines effectively; be discerning in evaluating digital content; respect individuals and intellectual property; use technology responsibly, securely and safely - select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information. ![Enfield Academy of New Waltham](https://files.schudio.com/enfield-academy-of-new-waltham-2/images/logo/Enfield-Logo.png) ### Enfield Academy of New Waltham Enfield Avenue New Waltham NE Lincs DN36 4RB 01472 321434 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/EnfieldAcademyofNewWaltham/) - [X](https://twitter.com/enfield_academy) © Copyright 2026 Enfield Academy of New Waltham School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://enfieldacademy.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
