Computing - Mr Flint
Subject overview: Computing was previously taught as a PPA cover lesson but this changed at the start of the 2022/23 academic year when it fell to individual year groups to decide how to cover the curriculum. We use an adapted version of the NCCE scheme. Interest in Computing is high amongst pupilsand attainement is broadly age related. We currently have one set of Chromebooks available per year group. (July 2023)
Key strengths: Consistently taught using NCCE scheme of work and resources, engaged learners, Google Workspace well embedded.
Key Areas for Development: Essential that, where possible, Computing is taught concurrently with other subjects, by the class teacher. A strategy to enable this is being planned (29/6/22 - keep as dev target into 2023/24). The purpose of this target is to free up more time for the computer science aspects which are harder to teach (2023/24 target)
In planning process for a 1 device per pupil (1DPP) scheme (ongoing)
Evidence of Progress towards development targets
This data shows that the majority of children recognise that they use a computer in many other subjects. The weakness of this data however is that it doesn't show what elements of that use relates to the Computing Curriculum; this is something to drill down into this academic year (2023/24)
Assessment Data Headlines
(DATA ASKS QUESTIONS!)
Strengths:
Assessment data shows that a good range of Computing is being taught
Most of the school assessed as working at an age related level (given that last year was the first year for some time that Computing teaching was the responsibility of year groups, not PPA cover, that's positive.
Areas to investigate further:
There are comparatively few children in LKS2 working at +ARE compared to UKS2. It would be interesting to know why this is.
Is assessment too detailed?
Develop Computer Science extra curricular clubs to improve +ARE ?
Surveys Headlines
(Students/Staff)
Strengths:
78% of children rate Computing 4 or 5 out of 5 when surveyed
Pupils said they enjoyed programming using Scratch
Areas to investigate further:
Pupils said they would like more time on computing and using computer devices for other learning
Learning Walks
(At least one per year)
Strengths and Areas to investigate further:
Pupil Book Study
(WITH the pupils using considered questioning)
Strengths:
Pupils are very confident using devices and google applications.
Pupils could show areas they have improved with examples in Year 5 and 6
Areas to investigate further:
Pupils in Year 3 and 4 struggled to show evidence of their learning to support their ideas.
