Background
All 12 classes regularly accessing learning through Google Classroom
An upgraded internet connection (prior to this, the schools connection was woefully inadequate!
Weekly discrete 'Computer Science' lessons delivered through PPA cover.
Much improved digital literacy across the whole school community.
Move away from the existing HfL scheme of work to the DfE, STEM, research backed, NCCE scheme, also known as the 'Teach Computing' Curriculum.
The NCCE scheme
We moved to the NCCE scheme because it offered a broad ranging curriculum which was clearly mapped to the National Curriculum. To clearly how see how the NC is mapped, view the 'KS2' tab on the embedded Google Sheet below.
This scheme has provided an excellent framework, and for the last 2 years has been followed closely where resources and other external factors (partial school closures due to Covid-19) have allowed.Â
