Computer Science at Monkton Wood Academy offers students a comprehensive understanding of digital systems, programming, and the ethical implications of technology. The curriculum is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the increasingly digital world and equip them with the foundation for further study or a career in computer science.
At Key Stage 3, students develop essential Computer Science knowledge and practical digital skills to prepare them for an increasingly digital world. Students learn the fundamentals of using computers effectively and safely, develop their digital literacy skills, and explore computer hardware and how different components work together. Through Scratch programming, students are introduced to key programming concepts, including sequencing, selection, iteration and variables, allowing them to design and create their own interactive projects. By the end of Key Stage 3, students will have developed confidence, independence, problem-solving skills and a strong foundation for further study in Computer Science.
