Implementation

 

Our pupils should be able to organise their knowledge, skills and understanding around the following learning concepts:

  • To code
  • To connect
  • To communicate
  • To collect

 

These key concepts underpin learning in each milestone. This enables pupils to reinforce and build upon prior learning, make connections and develop subject specific language. 

 

The vertical accumulation of knowledge and skills from Years 1 to 6 is mapped as follows in the booklet below:

Computing Milestones

Curriculum Progression- Computing

Impact

 

The impact of our curriculum is measured in terms of the extent to which pupils have developed new knowledge, understanding and skills and that they can use and recall this with fluency.  


This will be measured by:

  • Lesson observations and work scrutiny
  • Termly testing and teacher assessments, pupil progress meetings, reporting to governors etc.
  • Internal and external moderation
  • Subject review, feedback and action plans
  • Reporting to parents
  • Pupil voice – questionnaires, pupil book reviews
  • Subject Leader monitoring – Lesson visits, scrutiny of books, assessment, pupil interviews and questionnaires 
  • Outcomes at the end of EYFS, KS1 and KS2 
  • ASPIRE Awards
  • Governor monitoring
