Minimum standards for Computing
Every child from years 1 – 6 must have one lesson per week of computing.
Through having weekly lessons of computing children will be able
to:
understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of
computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data
representation
analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated
practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve
such problems
evaluate and apply information technology, including new or
unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems
are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of
information and communication technology
Planning
All lessons must be planned using the agreed computing scheme of Rising
stars and adapted to meet the requirements of learners as necessary.
Assessment
Children must be assessed at the end of every unit. Pupils assessments
are then to be sent to SLT to be uploaded onto Pupil Asset.
Working wall
Each year group must have their own working wall displayed within the
computer suite linked to the learning unit they are completing. It must be
updated to launch new topics and used throughout a unit.
Class books
