Computing 
"To build safe, independent lives for autistic young people through support, understanding and enablement"
In today’s fast paced digital world, our Computing curriculum at Springfields equips pupils with the skills they need to stay safe online and use technology positively in everyday life and in the future.
Throughout their digital journey, pupils explore how technology has evolved and gain a broad understanding of the digital world. They build a strong foundation of computing and IT skills while developing curiosity, confidence, and digital awareness.
Implementation
We use Purple Mash, a comprehensive and engaging platform, to support the delivery of our computing curriculum. It enables pupils to explore key areas such as coding, digital literacy, data handling, and online communication through interactive and age-appropriate activities.
Online safety is embedded throughout the curriculum via the Connected World Framework to ensure pupils understand how to stay safe online, act responsibly, and protect their digital wellbeing. Our curriculum encourages creativity, problem solving, and resilience, helping pupils become confident and capable digital citizens.

Impact of the Computing Curriculum:
Pupils achieve a range of qualifications dependent on ability. These vary from AQA Unit Awards in Computing to a Level 2 in Skills in Creative Media.
This structured approach ensures that learners acquire the digital competencies necessary to lead safe, independent lives in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. It reflects our commitment to equipping pupils with both the practical skills and the accredited outcomes that support future learning, employment, and personal development.
