Computing

We believe that students deserve a Computing and ICT curriculum which prepares them for the digital
and fast paced world they live in. ICT, Digital Literacy and Computing gives young people the skills
and abilities to engage positively with the digital and global world. We thrive to provide opportunities
which allow students to develop a knowledge of a range of ICT, Digital Literacy and Computing in
KS3. Students will grow in confidence through dedicated teaching environments, the latest ICT
equipment and software, and specialist teaching.

At the centre of the subject is creativity and
enterprise. As students progress to KS4 they choose an area to study within the subject, which for ICT
is iMedia. In the chosen area, the subject allows for deeper study of the digital and business world
they live in, potential career opportunities and with the skills developed at KS3 the confidence to task
risks, become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. The subject encourages
students to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems, within a variety of
contexts, while considering their own and other’s needs, wants and values.

Our learners will develop
knowledge, and understanding relating to different sectors, products and job roles that form the ICT
and media industry. Our learners will learn how media codes and conventions are applied to create
digital media products which engage audiences. Our learners will also learn the purpose of, and
reasons for legislation applicable to the ICT and media industry and what media producers must do
to comply with this legislation.
