Year 7 - Computing
Each year 7 student will have approximately 20 hours of computing lessons during the year, when these occur during the year depends on their class number.
Computing club runs on Tuesday afternoons 15:05-16:00 each week for those with a keen interest in any aspect of computers, software, programming or computer-aided design.
| Half Term 1 | Half Term 2 |
|
We begin Charter student's computing curriculum by ensuring they grasp the fundamental aspects of using computers both in and out of school safely and effectively to support or enhance their learning both today and for the future.
|
Students apply their fundamental skills through their first programming project during their second half term. Through this project they learn about computational thinking, algorithms and programming software to achieve specific goals. Once these skills are embedded, students then use them on a variety of applications.

Y8 computer science returns to the fundamental skills of using computers to solve problems and respond to project briefs
|
In half term 2 Year 8 students leverage their learning from last academic year to apply their understanding to increasingly complex applications and design briefs; specifically development of playable games.
|
Year 9 - Computing
Each year 9 student will have approximately 20 hours of computing lessons during the year, when these occur during the year depends on their class number.
Of course, Y9 students in 25-26 haven’t had access to computer science lessons in Y7 or Y8, so we are following a condensed curriculum so that they can experience much of the same foundational computing knowledge and skills as their Y7-8 peers.
