Computing at Gladstone 

Here at Gladstone, our engaging Computing curriculum is designed from the content of the National Curriculum.  

Computing scheme used at Gladstone 

Our Computing curriculum makes use of the ‘Purple Mash’ scheme and also aspects of the ‘Teach Computing’ scheme, encompassing all three strands of computing (Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy).  

Within Computing lessons, Year 2 had the exciting opportunity to use the BeeBots and Year 3 and Year 4 had the exciting opportunity to code the Micro:Bits!

Digital Leaders and Online Safety Ambassadors 

We have a very helpful team of Digital Leaders and a super team of enthusiastic Online Safety ambassadors in school. The children help with a variety of tasks for Computing and are soon going to be supporting the Online Safety learning in school.
