Assessment

Assessing computing and end points  

• Purple Mash has assessment tools at the end of each unit. Children can access these tools and their scores will be automatically marked and saved. In purple mash teacher’s hub, the teacher can review these scores and access assessment statements to identify which children are emerging, expected and greater depth.
• Knowledge organisers and concept maps (found online in Purple Mash units) can be used as a pre/post topic assessment.

Computer Science (CS)

• Staff will assess the children on their understanding of the objectives using the information in the Data dash board and the assessment section of each unit. Therefore, work should be completed as an independently as possible.

Information Technology (IT)

• Staff will assess the children on their understanding of the objectives using the information in the Data dash board and the assessment section of each unit. Therefore, work should be completed as an independently as possible.

Digital Literacy (DL)

• Staff will assess the children on their understanding of the objectives using the information in the Data dash board and the assessment section of each unit. Therefore, work should be completed as an independently as possible.

Digital Citizenship (DC) - Online Education

Other Assessment Opportunities

• All of the evidence should reflect the assessment made by the teacher.
• Teachers need to make sure there is enough evidence to support assessments made. This evidence should reflect what is outlined above, but could take the form of conversations and demonstration of skills.

• Computing is monitored by the Computing Leader. A combination of pupil book studies/interviews; planning support/moderation; lesson drops-ins and digital work scrutiny will be used to gain a view of how computing is taught and learnt across school.
