Ickworth Primary School has proudly secured the esteemed Computing Quality Mark from the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE). This honour, bestowed by STEM Learning, celebrates schools that excel in their computing curriculum and practices.
The process began with Ickworth Primary School submitting an online application via the Computing Quality Framework website. The school achieved the necessary level 4 standard across all framework dimensions, prompting their Computing Hub to alert independent assessors. Following a detailed review of the evidence and application, the assessors confirmed that Ickworth Primary School met the rigorous criteria for the award.
This award is a testament to the dedication and effort of the staff and students at Ickworth Primary School. It underscores their commitment to delivering top-notch computing education, preparing students with vital digital skills for the future. The Computing Quality Mark is valid for three years, after which the school will need to undergo re-assessment to retain the award.
Schools that achieve this recognition receive a personalised certificate and the privilege to display the award on their websites, highlighting their accomplishment to the broader community. For schools that do not meet the standards, assessors provide constructive feedback on areas for improvement, paving the way for future success.
This accolade marks a significant achievement for Ickworth Primary School, reflecting their ongoing dedication to educational excellence. Congratulations to the entire Ickworth school community on this well-deserved recognition!
The Computing Quality Mark is open to all schools and colleges, and can be applied for on the Computing Quality Framework website here. The Suffolk Computing Hub can support schools through the process completely free of charge. Email [email protected] .
