Reporting Amazing Achievements Across The Sea View Trust
Congratulations to Anchorsholme Academy!
Achieving Level 5 of the Computing Quality Mark is a significant accomplishment and reflects excellent practice in computing across the whole school. This level recognises that computing is not only being taught effectively, but is embedded, inclusive, and forward‑thinking, with strong leadership and a clear long‑term vision.
Why this is such a strong achievement for the school
Level 5 is awarded to schools that demonstrate:
- High‑quality teaching and learning in computing across all year groups
- A well‑sequenced, progressive curriculum that builds pupils’ digital knowledge and skills over time
- Skilled and confident staff, supported by strong subject leadership and ongoing professional development
- Clear evidence that computing supports wider learning, including problem‑solving, creativity, and critical thinking
- A commitment to digital safety, equality and inclusion, ensuring all pupils can access and engage with computing
Reaching this level shows that the school is not just meeting expectations, but leading by example in how computing education is planned, delivered, and continuously improved.
How this benefits pupils
For pupils, this achievement has a real and lasting impact. It means they:
- Receive a rich and engaging computing education, not just basic ICT skills
- Develop confidence in using technology, from coding and logical thinking to digital creativity
- Learn how to be safe, responsible and thoughtful digital citizens
- Are better prepared for future education and careers in an increasingly digital world
- Experience inclusive learning, where all abilities are supported and challenged
Ultimately, Level 5 recognition confirms that pupils are gaining essential life skills that will support them well beyond primary education.
"We have been awarded Level 5 of the Computing Quality Mark, the highest level possible! This achievement officially recognises us as an Exemplar School for computing provision.
This is a huge milestone and reflects the outstanding work happening across our school and the wider educational community in computing." - Julie Barr, Headteacher at Anchorsholme Academy
