The Teach Computing Curriculum is based on a learning progression from Year 1 through to Year 6, with content being organised into year groups. This spiral curriculum approach allows for skills to be revisited and built on each year, but can make organising the curriculum for mixed-age classes a challenge.

During this self-paced course, you will explore the progression within the curriculum in detail, allowing you to make informed choices about structuring the Teach Computing curriculum to best support your own setting’s mixed-age structure. You will explore different methods of adapting the curriculum to find one which best suits your own setting and the mixed-year classes within in.
