Sketchnotes provide a visual description of the practice and approaches which have been identified as practice which HM Inspectors have observed during scrutiny activities and is worth sharing more widely.

Questions for discussion

Reflecting on your own setting, consider the following:-

• How effective is our whole school overview in ensuring children's knowledge and skills are built appropriately over time?
• Do we make best use of our partners to provide opportunities for children to develop skills and achieve?
• Does the use of digital technologies enhance learning and give children the skills to understand, apply and create new digital solutions of their own?
• Is the development of digital skills underpinned by computing science, enabling children to be skilled users and creators?
