Computing
For our Computing (ICT) lessons, we follow the Teach Computing curriculum from Y1 to Y6.
From nursery all the way to year 6, we ensure all children have access to an extensive computing curriculum.
Every topic in the curriculum is aligned with the computing programme of study requirements from the National Curriculum.
Each week, we provide dedicated computing lessons for every class. These lessons have a range of exciting and current topics that include many different aspects of computing.
In other subjects, we provide many opportunities for cross-curricular use of ICT.
E-Safety / Online Safety
We ensure e-Safety / Online Safety is front and centre. Each lesson begins with a safety recap, which includes general ways to keep safe while using ICT. We also include ways to keep safe that are tailored to the specific tasks in that lesson.
Assessment
Each module has its own specific assessment tasks. These make sure everyone’s on task and doing OK.
The tasks are:
- Diagnostic – Whole class questions to quickly ascertain if we’re all keeping up
- Written – Individual worksheets, with multiple choice or written responses
- Practical – Individual worksheets or other tasks that are hands-on
