Aims of Computing at St Stephen's
Core principles
Inclusive and ambitious
The Teach Computing Curriculum has been written to support all pupils. Each lesson is sequenced so that it builds on the learning from the previous lesson, and where appropriate, activities are scaffolded so that all pupils can succeed and thrive. Scaffolded activities provide pupils with extra resources, such as visual prompts, to reach the same learning goals as the rest of the class. Exploratory tasks foster a deeper understanding of a concept, encouraging pupils to apply their learning in different contexts and make connections with other learning experiences.
The NCCE is run by a consortium made up of STEM Learning, the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. Our vision is to achieve a world-leading computing education for every child in England.
