Learning Journey

Computing and iMedia LJ

How is it assessed?

Explore a creative and engaging course packed full of modern content to engage your child in this amazing technical world we now inhabit.

The course is made up of three components: two that are internally assessed and one that's externally assessed.

Our three-block structure, explore, develop and apply, has been developed to allow students to build on and embed their knowledge. This allows them to grow in confidence and then put into practice what they have learned.

We will also complete the European Computing Driving Licence so pupils have a qualification recognised by industry as well as academic institutions.
