The New Wessex Planning allows teachers and schools to build their own Computing curriculum:

- - - - to develop safe, responsible and competent learners
        who are creative, curious and logical
        as they navigate, investigate and contribute to the world around them

This planning, which has been developed and constantly updated since the 2014 National Curriculum was launched, is split into blocks for each area of Somerset's computing curriculum. Almost 100 units allow schools to make choices which fit with the resources they have available and the needs of their learners.

'When teachers ask me what are the best primary computing resources, I always say eLIM's planning. You have to pay a small amount but you get great pedagogy. Assessment is embedded and they have thought long and hard about progression. I love working with the team, they are always keen to take part in computer science education research and introduce new ideas in practical ways that work in real classrooms.'
