Computing
At Mobberley School, computing is taught discretely from Reception to Year 6. Computing sessions allow children to use digital technologies to enhance their learning across the curriculum.
At Mobberley Primary School we use Kapow for our Computing curriculum.
Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme aims to promote enjoyment in using technology while developing pupils’ appreciation of its capabilities and the opportunities it provides for creating, managing, organising, and collaborating.
Tinkering with software and programs is embedded within the scheme’s ethos, supporting the development of pupils’ confidence when encountering new technologies — a vital skill in today’s ever-evolving digital landscape.
The curriculum is designed to ensure that pupils become digitally competent, equipped with transferable skills relevant to the future workplace and responsible citizens in the online world.
The scheme of work enables pupils to achieve the end-of-key-stage attainment targets set out in the National curriculum, with aims that are fully aligned to those expectations.

Pupil Voice
Children have been asked to give their opinion about Computing at our school. They gave responses such as:
“I really like computing, it’s cool. I want to be a gamer when I grow up.”
“I like learning about technology and how it’s used for different jobs.”
“I like using the Dash robots and working with my friends to solve problems.”

Safer Internet Day – February 10th 2026
Safer Internet Day 2026 will take place on the 10th of February 2026, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI’.
Everyone’s talking about AI, and with many children and young people hearing about and using AI online, it’s important they have the skills and confidence to make safe choices when they are using smart technology.
This Safer Internet Day we are exploring the impact of AI on all of our lives, looking at how AI can be used for good, and giving advice and guidance that empowers people to use AI safely and responsibly.
Our free educational resources will help schools and youth groups talk about this issue with young people of all ages, covering a range of issues from looking at voice assistants and chatbots, to exploring some of the ethical considerations in responsible use of AI technology. We will also produce top tips and advice for parents, carers and grandparents covering how to talk about AI, helping them to use new technology in safe and responsible ways.
The children were asked to design a computer game character with advice on how to stay safe online. Here are the winning entries. Well done everyone!
