Our Vision and Ambition
Our vision is to inspire and equip students so that they can have a competitive advantage in the digital jobs market of the future, as well as using their technical skills to make the world a better place.

We follow, embrace and strive to deliver the National Curriculum for Computing, which states “Students are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, students are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that students become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.”

What Do Our Lessons Look Like?
In each lesson pupils will be led by passionate subject experts where pupils can “Think Big”, be creative, solve problems and understand technology. Lessons are sequenced from Year 7 and 11 where pupil’s knowledge, understanding and experience are cumulatively built upon. Lessons are purposeful, use pedagogical approaches throughout (e.g. Rosenshine & NCCE Computing Pedagogy) and help pupils to be ready for post 16 education and future citizens.

In terms of enrichment, we offer trips (e.g. Bletchley Park, Royal Signals Museum) and after school activities from additional programming support (Year 8 to 11) and our Gold Programme club (Year 7 and 8).

For students who take GCSE Computer Science we follow the OCR GCSE Computer Science (9-1) syllabus.
