Curriculum Consultancy & Training – Choose your session or discounted bundle
Since September 2014, the National Curriculum for Computing has formed a statutory part of the National Curriculum for maintained schools in England and Wales.
The ICT Service believes that the best approach to deliver this exciting Computing Curriculum is to continue to focus on pupils’ computing capability with a strong emphasis on progression.
We have therefore developed the Cambridgeshire Progression in Computing Capability Materials and encourage schools to use these materials as a framework for building their own, personalised scheme of work. The materials can be accessed at ccc-computing.org.uk.
Talk to us about how we can support you in developing your school curriculum and help you to make the most of your investment in technology.

“Thank you for last night’s successful staff training. We enjoyed your approach to a

Introduction to Computing – Full Staff Meeting |

A session designed to provide all staff with a ‘broad brush’ overview of the requirements of the 2014 Computing Curriculum and what this means in practical terms. This session includes getting to grips with the terminology involved through hands-on activities. We aim to help staff break the curriculum down into manageable ‘themes’ and explore the need for progression in computing capability throughout the school. This session can be adapted for schools who feel they have not yet fully embraced the Computing Curriculum as well as schools who need a refresher due to staff changes.
