Some examples of our Computer Science projects

First Lego Leagues (FLL) – Our Reece Foundation- funded boxes of Lego have facilitated innovation and creativity in Primary Schools, setting up FLL co-curricular clubs in ten schools. We hosted an for FLL Junior in school, coordinated by our new Robotics Partnerships Teacher.

Digital Schoolhouse – These sessions have been running weekly, beamed into Primary classrooms around the region throughout lockdowns, and it was great to welcome students back into school for ‘in-person’ workshops. Ten schools have taken part to develop coding skills. In one session of PacMan game design, our Head of Computing taught four separate remote classrooms, reaching over 100 students!

E-sports – We have launched an e-sports pilot scheme with four local schools, impacting all Y5 and Y6 students, using funds from our Digital Schoolhouse work to buy devices. We also provided training for teachers involved to implement the programme. Following this successful pilot, the scheme will be offered more widely next year.
