Summary

Pupil-focused material allows independent learning and progress at individual rates. For the more able, extension materials are provided. A learning unit structure provides maximum flexibility in the classroom, with suggested lesson plans for non-IT specialists. Targets at the start of each unit of work are reviewed at the end for complete consolidation. Schemes of work facilitate planned delivery across timetabled ICT and subject-related lessons. Three differentiated skills books work in parallel to cater for a broad ability range throughout Years 7-11.
