S1 Computing:
Reporting Window 1

The majority of work covered in term 1 for S1 Computing is based around CfE Level 2 outcomes. 

Working Level and Working Grade descriptions for S1 Digital Literacy:

Second A: Making excellent progress at CfE Level 2, performing well against all the outcomes covered. The student can apply the ICT key knowledge and skills and exhibits good competency levels and confidence using ICT. Produces an excellent standard of work and when topics allow for extension into CfE Level 3 outcomes, the student copes very well with the increased challenge.

Second B: Making good progress at CfE Level 2, performing well against most of the outcomes covered. The student copes well with the application of ICT skills and applies their knowledge and IT skills to enhance their work. Produces a good standard of work and when topics allow for extension into CfE Level 3 outcomes, copes well with the increased challenge.

Second C: Making reasonable progress at CfE Level 2, performing well against many of the outcomes covered while finding others more challenging. Sometimes needs the IT concepts broken down into more manageable chunks and a little extra support to enable the student to gain more confidence to produce a higher standard of presentation.

Second D: Making some progress at this CfE Level 2, performing well against a few of the outcomes covered while finding the majority challenging. Often needs the IT concepts to be broken down into more manageable chunks or further consolidation of the level. Often needs to revisit previously visited content to build more solid foundations and confidence before moving forward with developing their IT skills further.

At this stage in the Business, Computing and Enterprise curriculum, pupils on a pathway towards achieving SCQF Level 5 in S4 will be working at Second B or above.
