Year 7 – Computer Science

Head of Subject: Mr C Mueller

Intended Outcomes

Focus will primarily be on problem solving, Computing theory and building resilience to real world problems.  

  • Course Implementation

    Scratch Programming  

    Students will have the chance to developing their programming ability and robustness to solving problems.  Students will be working towards completing an end of module project, to aid their progress towards this, students will have weekly verbal feedback and complete regular multiple-choice quizzes.  

    Computing Theory  

    Bite sized chunks of key Computing knowledge will be taught to add context to the CPU, memory, storage, networking and binary.  Students will be completing weekly theory tasks and developing specific Computing theory knowledge, to aid their progress towards this, students will have weekly verbal feedback and complete regular multiple-choice quizzes.  

Learning Impact

Programming aims to bring together all their learnt knowledge and skills about problem solving into one main project where they will solve a problem by producing a scratch project to a specific brief. This is teacher marked with individual written feedback provided.  
 
Computing theory aims to develop Computing knowledge through bite sized exposure to topics, this is developed over time and adds to knowledge weekly. This is teacher marked with individual written feedback provided.  
 
Parents will be informed through the use of a mix of school reports, parents evenings and intervention from the classroom teacher as needed.
