GLF Schools was founded in 2012 in order to enable the federation of Glyn School (an academy in 2011) and Danetree Junior School. Together, we began our journey to become a MAT of more than 1000 talented staff working with over 10,000 children in 40 schools across 5 regions in southern England.

"We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world."

David Warlick

The study of computing is deeply linked to mathematics, science and design and technology, while ensuring that all children become digitally literate and safe, active participants in the digital world. 

The Teach Computing curriculum offers a spiral curriculum, which means that each of the themes is revisited regularly and pupils revisit each theme through a new unit on their journey from Year One to Year Six. All learners are inspired and their curiosity piqued by the broad, balanced and engaging curriculum. 

There are 12 key principles embodied by the Teach Computing Curriculum: 

  • Lead with concepts 

  • Work together 

  • Get hands-on 

  • Unplug, unpack, repack 

  • Model everything 

  • Foster program comprehension

  • Create projects  

  • Add variety 

  • Challenge misconceptions 

  • Make concrete 

  • Structure lessons 

  • Read and explore code first
