Supporting digital
literacy at New City Supporting schools to implement this year’s new
computing curriculum
The Education ICT curriculum team has been supporting schools
with the implementation of the new computing curriculum. New
City produced a magazine that went to professional printers and
was then sold by the editorial team. The club was set up and run by
Fern Bamford (ICT Co-ordinator) and Natasha Campbell (NPW)
with pupils from across the school producing work. The editorial
team, selected from year 5 and 6 pupils, then edited the content
and prepared articles for print. In addition to further developing
literacy skills and writing for an audience, pupils used technology
to work on the layout of the magazine (Graphical design) and
learnt how to use MS Publisher.
The magazine contains:
interviews with paralympians, authors, the school cook and
musicians,
articles about the school i.e. school visits, trips, sporting
events and clubs,
articles of interest i.e. the „we are writers‟ project from KS1,
origami, recipes, puzzles and reviews,
pictures from the Foundation Stage.
Digital literacy and presenting information to a wider audience for
a purpose is a key part to the new computing curriculum and can
be used to enforce learning across the curriculum. If literacy is
going to be a part of your school improvement plan and you would
like support for an idea that involves technology please contact the
ICT curriculum adviser team: [email protected] and

A student from St Angela's and St Bona-
venture's Sixth Form Centre is the only
Comprehensive School in the whole of
East London to be awarded highly
commended in an essay competition
organised by the Royal Economist
Society.
There were over 1,600 entries from all
over the globe for the Young
Economist of the Year competition and
former St Bonaventure's student Adrian
Polius, who's 17, made it onto the
highly commended list.
Only 44 students from around the world
made it onto the list.
Lots of Grammar, Independent and
Boarding Schools such as Eton and
Dulwich made it onto the Final 18 list.
Commended students from schools in
Dubai and Singapore made it onto the
list along with St Bonaventure's.
Jim Ward, who is Adrian's Business
and Economics teacher said: "I
received an email from Adrian over the
weekend and he is over the moon to
have his essay recognised. He had some
disasters along the way. His laptop
broke for a week which left him
wondering if he would ever finish his
essay. Luckily he submitted it in time
and now his entry has won a coveted
highly commended tag which should
boost his confidence no end."
Adrian added: " When I saw my name
on the top of the list and I saw the
other establishments named I felt very
proud. Schools across the World, mostly
Independent Schools sent in entries and
some of the winners come from very
privileged areas. To be the only student
in Newham to have their essay
recognised made me feel very honoured.
The only other school in East London to
have their essay recognised by one of
their students was the Independent
Chigwell School. I couldn't wait to tell
Mr Ward my good news. I feel
fantastic.
