Computing
Computing at Key Stage 3 forms part of the National Curriculum and focuses on three key areas:
-
Computer Science
-
Digital Literacy
-
Information Technology
Together, these areas equip pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate and succeed in an increasingly digital world.
Pupils begin Key Stage 3 with varying levels of knowledge, experience and confidence in computing. We therefore use early assessment to identify individual strengths and areas where further support may be beneficial.
Key Stage 3 provides an important foundation for future study, qualifications and career opportunities. Our curriculum is designed to give pupils a broad and balanced understanding of all three areas, allowing them to develop essential digital skills and make informed decisions about their future learning and career pathways.
