Case Studies

Thomas A Becket Middle School

Switched on Computing offers training videos as part of the resources and many of the teachers have used them with the children too. This means that the process of learning new skills is a collaborative, shared experience.

Educational Resources Awards - the judges comments

Switched on Computing offers an innovative and updated approach to teaching computing for the new curriculum. The complete nature of the resource, including posters, vocabulary and other teaching support resources will enhance the everyday work of teachers.

Stanwick Primary School

I have been using Switched On Computing since it was first released and loved it as 'an idiots guide to computing'. Layout, video tutorials, you name it, everything a teacher who is not very confident with the computing curriculum needs to get started.

Teach Primary review

This fine collection puts creativity and collaboration to the fore. It draws on deep and extensive knowledge of computing, progression and continuity, and is well planned, innovative, cross-curricular, stretching but accessible, and vitally, it has been well-trialled in schools.

St Peter's CE Primary School

Switched on ICT was an answer to our prayers. We have been putting off updating our ICT curriculum for the past two years because of a lack of time and expertise. Then Switched on ICT came into school. It was just what we needed...

Salisbury Road School

I would highly recommend this scheme to any school as it provides a solid platform from which to deliver a truly exciting and engaging curriculum.

Shaw Wood Academy

The great thing about this programme is that it not only challenges the children to use ICT creatively, but it also inspires and engages staff throughout the school to use tools that they have heard of but have been unsure about using. I can honestly say that after the staff sat down and read through their year group pack and had tried out the suggested tools they were all confident and eager to get started. I have never said that before about a programme that I have launched in school. Why were they eager?...

Oakdale Junior School

Switched on Computing has definitely made my life easier Oakdale Junior School

Elm Park Primary School

The children are loving it and really enjoy the challenge. The plans in Switched on Computing have given us a clear plan of how to deliver the difficult area of programming.
