Our curriculum is designed to underpin our school values of:
Pupils value the warm and respectful relationship that they develop with staff and peers.
Respect
We develop routines that are consistent across the school to enable students to respect each other and take pride in their learning.
​Diversity is empowered by allowing students to bring their own cultural or religious influences into projects that they develop.
Misconceptions are addressed in lessons to allow students to see the benefit of learning from their mistakes. Students respect each other as they learn from their own and others mistakes.
High Aspirations
​Through the use of real-life examples in both Computing and Business, students can aspire to many different career paths in many fields of work or further education.
We encourage students to build resilience from their first lesson and add challenge individually so that all students aspire to work hard.
Students are encouraged to keep up to date with the ever-changing Business and Computing world in order to promote enthusiasm and curiosity.
Confidence
The building blocks of problem solving is developed in all years for computing. We use pseudocode to break down the task regardless of the end product. Retrieval is used in Business and built upon through every element of the course.
Students develop confidence by testing their work and seeing how it develops through each stage. Students are taught that different elements will take different times depending on complexity and therefore that we may all work at different paces. This promotes respect.
Resources are fluid and updated regularly in response to students’ evolving love of the subject and to keep up to date with emerging trends and software
