Impact
We promote a positive engagement with our curriculum, urging students not just to understand how they learn but also why. Emphasising reflection and discussion, we want learners to recognise the profound impact computing has on their education, development, and well-being. Striking the right balance with technology is crucial for effective education and a healthy lifestyle.
Our approach encourages ongoing discussions between staff and students to embed this understanding. The impact of our curriculum is evident in how students showcase, share, and publish their work, along with regular reviews of their digital knowledge and skills. Overall progress is measured by outcomes and the comprehensive record of coverage in achieving these results.
