Some children seem to naturally flourish in computing, while others need more support to reach their potential. This self-paced course aims to support you as you develop an excellent computing curriculum which allows all pupils to succeed, opening up future study and employment routes and closing attainment gaps.

You will consider how culture, gender, socio-economic background and other factors affect outcomes in computing, and how to build a sense of belonging and engagement in the subject throughout primary school.

You will develop a range of strategies for including and supporting learners with special educational needs in computing and investigate how to address gaps in key digital skills. You will ensure your computing curriculum provides equitable and inspirational learning for every child in authentic, collaborative and engaging contexts.
