Computing & Business

At the end of KS3 we expect pupils to have fully developed skills within the three strands of Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy, including design, computational thinking, logic and programming. This will enable pupils to develop transferable and challenging skills such as problem solving and analytical thinking. We will equip pupils with the skills and knowledge to stay safe online and treat their peers with respect. Our intention is to provide pupils with a strong knowledge of understanding computers and be able to apply this theory to the real world. We aim to equip pupils with essential digital skills that empower them to navigate digital technologies confidently and responsibly. Pupils will follow an ambitious and engaging curriculum and by the end of KS3, pupils will have acquired the enthusiasm and skills required to progress onto GCSE Computer Science.

At the end of KS4 we expect pupils to develop their skills in programming systems and logical thinking. They will start to understand how computers work and be able to design and create algorithms to solve problems. Pupils will gain a deeper understanding at the importance of technology in today’s society and be able to analyse the impact and issues surrounding computing systems.
