Making Advances
In Computing
Our students are kept up to date with the latest in invention and innovation whilst using specialist software that will equip them with the skills needed to navigate computing in the real world.
Analysis is broadened in Business through looking at real-life case studies. At Ruskin, students are enabled with the skills needed to create websites, develop games and become budding entrepreneurs.

Our curriculum is designed to underpin our school values of:
Teachers have high expectations of pupils; pupils rise to this challenge.
Respect
We develop routines that are consistent across the school to enable students to respect each other and take pride in their learning.
​Diversity is empowered by allowing students to bring their own cultural or religious influences into projects that they develop.
Misconceptions are addressed in lessons to allow students to see the benefit of learning from their mistakes. Students respect each other as they learn from their own and others mistakes.
High Aspirations
​Through the use of real-life examples in both Computing and Business, students can aspire to many different career paths in many fields of work or further education.
We encourage students to build resilience from their first lesson and add challenge individually so that all students aspire to work hard.
Students are encouraged to keep up to date with the ever-changing Business and Computing world in order to promote enthusiasm and curiosity.
Confidence
The building blocks of problem solving is developed in all years for computing. We use pseudocode to break down the task regardless of the end product. Retrieval is used in Business & built upon through every element of the course.
Students develop confidence by testing their work & seeing how it develops through each stage. Students are taught that different elements will take different times depending on complexity & therefore that we may all work at different paces. This promotes respect.
Resources are fluid & updated regularly in response to students’ evolving love of the subject & to keep up to date with emerging trends & software
