CompSci HoD interview

* Learn from COVID:
  * develop resources - particularly programming, which suffered the words from distance learning - to be self-paced, so that they can be picked-up and followed independantly.
    * A lot of work has already gone into this for A-level.
    * Need to do the same for GCSE.
* Explore opportunities for cross-curricular intergration:
  * Maths, Physics, DT seem the most obvious.
  * Look at unit delivery, are there opportunities for sync, so that we're not all teaching same thing at different points.
  * Can skills be taught in one place and then consolodated in the others?
* Using feedback from teachers of ICT in Lower School and in line with recommendations from ISI and with School's strategic vision.  Develop ICT curriculum to be:
  * (A) more enaging - this is difficult, no easy-access silver bullets - word processing is boring!
    * My current thinking on this, is to try to do more cross curricular stuff.
      * Eg. do some creative writing in English, then Word Process this in ICT, then make an interactive presentation using PowerPoint.
  * (B) fit for purpose (are we teaching the right skills at the right time?).
        What ICT skills do each dept. (a) assume (b) require, and when?

Back-burner
 * iMedia GCSE vocational course.
 * IB CompSci.
