Technology & Innovation
At Excel Community School, we believe that technology is not just a subject, but a powerful tool for learning, creativity, and problem-solving. Our Technology & Innovation programme introduces learners to essential digital skills that prepare them for the modern world while supporting academic excellence.
Guided by our commitment to future-ready education, we integrate technology into teaching and learning in age-appropriate, meaningful ways. From foundational digital literacy to introductory coding, our learners are equipped with the confidence and skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving global environment.
A key highlight of this programme is our coding curriculum for Primary and Junior High School learners, delivered using the Scratch programming platform.
Coding & Computational Thinking
Learning to Code with Scratch
Scratch is a globally recognised, child-friendly programming platform developed by the MIT Media Lab. At Excel Community School, Scratch is used to introduce learners to the fundamentals of coding through creativity, storytelling, and interactive projects.
Coding lessons are designed to be engaging, hands-on, and collaborative, helping learners develop problem-solving skills while having fun.

Coding for Primary Learners
(Upper Primary)
In our Primary coding programme, learners are introduced to coding through colourful blocks and simple commands using Scratch. Pupils create animations, stories, and simple games while learning how computers think.
Learners will:
- Understand basic coding ideas such as sequences and patterns
- Create simple animations and interactive stories
- Develop logical thinking and creativity
- Build confidence using technology
Coding at this level is exploratory and fun, helping learners see technology as a tool for expression and problem-solving.
Coding for Junior High School Learners
At the Junior High School level, learners build on their foundational coding knowledge and begin creating more structured projects. They learn to design games, solve challenges, and work collaboratively.
Learners will:
- Apply logical thinking to solve problems
- Understand key coding concepts such as loops and conditions
- Design interactive games and simulations
- Strengthen teamwork, creativity, and digital confidence
This programme helps learners develop skills that support future studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
