At Key Stage 3, students develop essential skills in computer science, digital literacy and safe, responsible use of technology. They are introduced to programming through both block-based and text-based languages (Scratch and Python), giving them the opportunity to understand how software is created and to apply computational thinking to solve problems. Alongside this, students learn how computing impacts their daily lives and the wider world, encouraging them to think critically and creatively about technology. Students’ learning at KS3 is enriched through stop days, which deepen their knowledge and skills.
