Computing

In Computing, we show strength through studying challenging elements to the Computing Curriculum and teaching approaches are adapted to support these challenges, this includes but is not limited to; worked examples; unplugged activities and storytelling. Students are expected to develop a resilient mindset in Computing lessons to help overcome some of these challenges and approaches to tasks. 

In Computing, we show pride through encouraging students to develop their thinking skills when completing Computing activities which will enable them to think through ideas critically and systematically. Staff have high expectations of the presentation of work in students' books and on their One:One device.  

In Computing, we show unity through applying problem solving skills and teamwork, which are fundamental to Computing, through creative thinking, discussion, explaining and presenting ideas.  Students are always encouraged to use SHAPE when communicating with others and explaining concepts to each other.  Self and peer review are important to enable pupils to have an accurate grasp of where they are and how they need to improve through Think, Pair, Share.
