Bailey’s Court Computing scheme of work aims to inspire pupils to become curious and explorative thinkers with a diverse knowledge of the world – in other words, to think like computing experts. The intention is for pupils to develop the confidence to question and observe places, measure and record necessary data in a variety of ways and analyse and present their findings.
We aim to build an awareness of how Computing shapes lives at multiple scales and over time. We encourage pupils to become resourceful, active citizens who will have the skills to contribute to and improve the world around them.
Bailey’s Court supports teachers in developing their subject knowledge and skills, enabling the delivery of engaging, well-informed lessons with confidence. The curriculum is designed to be both accessible and ambitious, ensuring all learners’ full participation and potential achievement.
We encourage our children to enjoy and value the computing curriculum we deliver. We want learners to be able to discuss, reflect and appreciate the impact computing has on their learning, development and well-being. Finding the right balance with technology is key to an effective education and a healthy life-style. We feel the way we implement computing helps children to realise the need for the right balance and one they can continue to build on in their next stage of education and beyond. We encourage regular discussions between staff and pupils to best embed and understand this. The way pupils showcase, share, celebrate and publish their work will best show the impact of our curriculum. We also look for evidence through reviewing pupil’s knowledge through regular pupil conferencing and skills digitally through tools like Google Drive. Progress of our computing curriculum is demonstrated through outcomes and the record of coverage via our timelines.
