Impact
A thorough implementation of the computing curriculum will have the following impact for the children in Thomas Jones:
- The children will have been taught, understand and can apply the subject content as laid out in the computing programme of study.
- The children are able to articulate their understanding of computing science, digital literacy and information technology. They are able to give examples of ways to stay safe on-line and recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour.
- There is consistency across the year groups in the quality and frequency of learning using technologies and in the progress made by the children.
- The children can cite examples of times when technology has allowed them to access a lesson in the wider curriculum.
- The children can talk enthusiastically about technologies and suggest ways that the digital age differs from that of older generations.
- The children enjoy using technologies, can do so safely and creatively and are receptive to new or unfamiliar technologies, viewing them as a natural development in the modern world.
- The children can use hardware with skill.
- The children are ready for computing at KS3 and some children may have developed increased confidence and interest with computing technologies.
