The ICT Curriculum
A pupil with Lawrence Williams explaining how she programmed in ScratchA
key theme was the ICT curriculum. Notable amongst teachers’ presentations
was Literacy from Scratch
- a curriculum exchange between Dr Mirka Cernochova from Charles University,
working with a school committed to creativity in the Czech Republic and
Lawrence Williams, Brunel University, Literacy from Scratch programme, working
with Bishop Ramsey, Ruislip, London. The literacy skills project in story
telling, uses Scratch, an introductory programming language across the whole
of the Year 8 mixed-ability group.
Support materials for other teachers to use are also being written, tested, and developed at the school, and are being sent out for trials in the Czech Republic.

pupils who presented the stories they had programmed were awarded a World
Ecitizens certificate for sharing their knowledge with others on this website
for pupils’ publications.
