The bulk of our Key Stage 3 curricular offer for computing comes through stop days spread throughout Key Stage 3. Our stop days are high-quality and memorable and aim to inspire our students to take computing at Key Stage 4 and beyond. We recognise that programming is the core of the computer science curriculum and have chosen to prioritise this (Scratch and Python) during our stop days. We want to give our students the opportunity to know more about a programming, a unique aspect of computing that has a big impact on their lives. We also want to develop computational thinking in our students.
