Why adopt the Entrust Scheme of work? What schools are saying:

"Our decision to adopt the Entrust Computing scheme of work and the Just 2 Easy tool suite has been the best decision we have made as a school due to the impact it has had on the quality of our computing curriculum. The Computing scheme of work provides a sequenced and well-structured curriculum, alongside the J2e tool suite providing all the software you need to teach it via its online platform. Our staff have further developed the use of this software to go well beyond computing and now use it to also support other areas of the curriculum.

Our decision to adopt J2e was also coupled with a commitment to professional development of coaching of staff using the professional support services from Entrust. This has been, quite simply, outstanding. Our consultant is extremely skilled and knowledgeable and has supported us immensely in our journey to develop strength in our computing curriculum. Not only does she understand the technical aspects of teaching a computing curriculum, she understands what good quality teaching and learning looks like. This has resulted in her bridging the gap between teachers and technical staff to ensure high quality outcomes for children.

Our consultant has made such an incredible difference to the confidence of staff and leaders and they are now independently demonstrating the expertise they have developed. Our computing leader now has the confidence to continue on this journey after a highly successful deep dive in computing during our Ofsted of October 2021."

Whole School Progression Document

UPDATED now includes Key Skills for all units

This scheme of work has progression at the heart. Each unit of work builds upon key skills taught in the previous year, clear intent defined to ensure lessons are effectively sequenced. Colour-coded units help teachers easily identify what area of the computing curriculum is being delivered.

Scheme of Work Unit Overviews

Access the unit overviews for your year group. The order that these units are taught can be decided by your school, as some units will link to topics covered in other subjects. We have made it clear in the planning where it is necessary to teach the skills from one unit before delivering another.

New to this Computing Scheme of Work?

If you are new to this scheme of work we have suggested a gradual year on year delivery model to ensure successful delivery of the units and to ensure that all learners start from an appropriate point based on prior knowledge and experience whilst still progressing on through the key learning.

Digital Literacy

Digital literacy is a strand of the computing curriculum with online safety being an integral part of your Relationships and Health Education Curriculum. The long-term planning has elements of online safety and digital literacy weaved into some units where appropriate, however, there is an allocation of time in which to deliver a specific unit of digital literacy that meets the requirements of your pupils.

Digital Literacy programmes of study in computing are as follows:

KS1

use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies.

KS2

use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content

use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact

The UK Council for Internet Safety has created guidance that identifies the digital knowledge and skills that young people should have the opportunity to develop at different ages and stages of their lives. The ProjectEVOLVE Toolkit provides a sequence of lessons aligned to the Education for a Connected World Framework.
