Computing | Computer Science Thriving in a digital world Go Go Our Computing curriculum intends to: Develop pupils' understanding of Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy in order to prepare all pupils to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Develop these strands to enable pupils to apply computational thinking to be better problem solvers. Enable pupils to be confident users of IT, applying IT effectively to real world situations and to know how they and others can use IT safely. Computing All subjects use Computing as part of their curriculum access and delivery. Pupils will develop their knowledge often by using focused research requiring effective use of the internet, as well as having the opportunity to develop their IT literacy and capability using subject relevant applications, particularly in Maths, Design & Technology and Media. Most subjects make use of Computing for effective home learning management, exam preparation and revision, helping to develop skills required for both GCSE and beyond. The GCSE Computer Science course will develop and apply analytic, problem-solving, design, and computational thinking skills. In addition, aspects of these skills are developed within other subjects including Maths and Science. The Personal Development lessons focus on the safety aspects and reporting of concerns. At Key Stage 4, the Computing curriculum is delivered through a combination of Computing lessons, integration with other subjects and through personal development lessons. Why Learn Computing? A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with maths, science and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate, able to express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology, at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world. Computer Science has real relevance in our modern world. The course will give an in-depth understanding of how computer technology works and a look at what goes on behind the scenes. The course provides excellent preparation for higher study and employment in the field of Computer Science. The increasing importance of information technologies means there is a growing demand for professionals who are qualified in this area.

Participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending. Perform dances using simple movement patterns. PE is taught as a discrete subject from Year R. We provide additional teaching resources form Year 3 transitioning into specialist PE provision using our full facilities from Year 4. Key stage 2 course content Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They will be supported in the joy of communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They will develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success. Pupils will be taught to: Use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination. Play competitive games, modified where appropriate [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis], and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending. Develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance through athletics and gymnastics. Perform dances using a range of movement patterns. Take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team. Compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best. Swimming and water safety We provide swimming instruction in key stage 2. In particular, we will ensure our pupil are taught to: Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres. Use a range of strokes effectively (for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke). Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations. Course content: Currently the sports covered are: Athletics Basketball Badminton Dance Football Gymnastics Health Related Exercise Orienteering Rugby Netball Table tennis Tennis Striking/fielding Course skills In both Year 7 & 8, pupils will work across a carousel of sports, including a variety of team sports, individual sports, racket sports, gymnastics, dance, and problem-solving activities. Pupils will develop individual skills, team tactics and performances across these activities. They will learn how to exercise safely and understand the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle. Extra-curricular learning: Pupils are encouraged to attend one of the many extracurricular sports clubs as part of developing their skills. There are a wide range of sports covered to allow pupils to select the one that suits them. This page is being updated Overview of the Course: Physical Education is a mixture of practical (40%) and theory work (60%). Pupils will learn how the body works, the socio-cultural influences on sport, and further develop their physical competence in a range of competitive sports. There is a need for individuals to play and understand three sports at a reasonable level. This includes one solo sport and one team sport. Pupils should really be at a competitive level in sports, either inside and outside of school, if they choose GCSE PE. To be able to achieve a high grade at GCSE PE pupils should: Be competent in more than one sport. Regularly participate in competitive sport clubs outside of school. Regularly attend extra-curricular sports clubs within school. Always have brought PE kit to lessons. The three areas of the curriculum are as follows: Understand how the body works and how it impacts on health, fitness and performance in physical activity and sport. Understand socio-cultural influences on sport and physical well-being. Develop practical performance in physical activity and sport. Course content: Theory Content: (60%) Throughout the three years, pupils will cover the following topics: Applied anatomy and physiology Movement analysis Physical training Use of data Sports Psychology Socio-Cultural factors Health, Fitness and well-being Assessment is through two 1 ¼ hr exams, sat in Year 11. Paper 1: Applied anatomy and physiology. Paper 2: Socio-Cultural influences and well-being in physical activity and sport. Practical Content: (40%) The practical requirement of GCSE PE is based upon competence in competitive sports. It will focus on physical training, developing knowledge and understanding the principles of training and different training methods in order to carry out, monitor and evaluate personal exercise programmes. Pupils will also carry out some development of practical sports, working on increasing their skills and techniques in progressive drills, and also their ability to put them into game or performance situations on activities from the list of team and individual sports on the syllabus. Assessment: Assessment in the practical element is ongoing. Pupils are assessed at their competence in a number of competitive sports (which can be sports that are done out of school – speak to the PE department about the list of current sports on the syllabus). Their final grade takes their highest 3 grades; 1 must be a team sport, 1 must be an individual sport, and the final one can be team or individual, and their analysis of performance in one of those sports. For each activity covered, pupils will be marked out of 25 on practical competence (as a guide, a district level player in a sport would be attaining 25). Pupils will be expected to participate in every practical lesson, and improve individual skills and tactics for that sport. The sports covered within curriculum time will reflect their needs and strengths of the class. Home Learning: Weekly Home Learning will be set in a range of formats: research, finishing off work done in lessons, practising the skills learned in lessons. Pupils are also expected to participate in extra-curricular sports activities to develop their practical skills.

Internal: Pupils from the secondary phase and the primary phase. Personal Development Empowering pupils to know themselves, care for others, and shape a purposeful future Go Go Our Personal Development Curriculum intends to: Enable pupils to make effective choices. Teach pupils to be mindful of British Values. Develop pupils into positive citizens of modern-day Britain. Empowering individuals to grow in self-awareness, responsibility, and lifelong learning. Our personal development curriculum intends (through our Golden threads) to encourage pupils to: Make thoughtful choices that positively shape the future whilst understanding and accepting that their choices will have consequences. Act responsibly towards others and contribute meaningfully to society through ethical and compassionate behaviour. Encourage character development by recognising strengths, areas for improvement, values, and aspirations for personal growth. Why Learn Personal Development? Personal Development (PD) equips pupils to live healthy, safe, productive, capable, responsible and balanced lives. It encourages them to be enterprising and supports them in making effective transitions, positive learning and career choices and in achieving economic well-being. A critical component of PD education is providing opportunities for children and young people to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes and explore the complex, and sometimes conflicting, range of values and attitudes they encounter now and in the future. Personal Development education helps pupils to cope with the changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities. The curriculum for personal development is led by DSL and Year Leaders in the secondary phase, and by the designated Subject Lead in the primary phase. Working with leaders across all phases ensures a consistent approach and a spiralling curriculum which builds on prior learning in a manner which is both age and developmentally appropriate for pupils. *6b All teachers are supported to deliver PD lessons in appropriate way through a CPD programme and individual support by YL/ AYL/Subject Leaders. Specialist teachers are used to deliver some aspects of the curriculum. Working with parents, carers, and the wider community to create a safe, inclusive, and happy environment where pupils develop a strong knowledge of self. We help them understand their strengths, make responsible choices, and recognise the consequences of their actions . By providing opportunities to explore careers, set goals, and build essential skills, we support pupils in planning for their future. We also foster a sense of responsibility to others and society , encouraging empathy, community engagement, and global citizenship. This holistic approach prepares pupils to lead fulfilling, purposeful lives beyond school. Long Term Plan (Year 7-11) EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content Curriculum overview This aspect of our curriculum is delivered by class teachers with specialist input and assemblies where appropriate. PD offers explicit and implicit learning opportunities that are based on ‘Golden Threads’ that form the backbone of the PD curriculum across all key stages. PD is integral to all we teach and is delivered through a mixture of discrete lessons and within other curriculum areas. We understand that parents are the primary teachers of their children and we work in partnership to ensure our curriculum is complimented by what is taught at home. During Key Stage 1 pupils learn about themselves as developing individuals and as members of their communities, building on their own experiences and on the early learning goals for personal, social and emotional development. Throughout the Primary Phase, in EYFS and KS 1 each class uses a large personal development floor book to evidence our learning. Each half term has a different focus for learning, these can be found on our long term plans. During EYFS and Key Stage 1Pupils learn increasing independence and physical and social awareness, as they move through the primary phase. Pupils are given opportunities to develop effective relationships, assume greater personal responsibility and manage personal safety, including online. Personal Development helps introduce pupils to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities.

The Key Stage 2 curriculum builds upon the foundation of work delivered in EYFS and Key Stage 1. Pupils continue to develop effective relationships, assume greater personal responsibility and manage personal safety, including online. Personal Development helps pupils manage the physical and emotional changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities. Different teaching methods are used, such as direct teaching, discussion and debate, research, books, stories, visiting speakers and workshops. The schemes of work and lessons are planned to implement the curriculum intent and are flexible, reflecting pupils’ needs with adaptations to take on board pupils and parental feedback, ideas and topical issues in society. In Key Stage 2, each pupil has a Personal Development journal to record evidence of learning and express ideas. Key Stage 3 Curriculum Content In the secondary phase the curriculum is delivered through an extended tutor session on a weekly basis and supplemented by external speakers, small group work in afternoon tutor sessions and, through assemblies. Additional follow up conversations take place as part of the half termly 1:1 mentoring sessions that pupils have with their tutor.
