Thanks Steph, online safety is definitely covered through the “be active, safe and responsible digital citizens” part and then in more detail under “Digital Citizenship”. Network security would be covered in the Cyber Security elements and the other network link would be more focused on the role of technology in society and the real world aspects of networks. In trying to create more balance some of the specific networks, data rep and computer systems related ‘deeper’ knowledge has been removed. Networks is a more specialised topic which could be explored at a deeper level on an apprenticeship or at degree level when a learner has made a choice to go into that area of computing.

If it is and I have missed this I apologise please sign post me?

Thanks, yes we are 100% behind a more balanced KS3 computing. We are hoping that a Computing GCSE will support this. Our proposed one links much more closely with what is happening with Vocational and Degrees at the later stages of the journey for young people.

Some of our learners will consider moving from KS3 ‘Computing’ to GCSE Computer Science. If schools/academies are offering a vocational route then a more balanced KS3 Computing should be explored. Context of school/academy is key.
Happy to work with you on this.
