Plant Bot Computing
A Reception to GCSE computing curriculum for schools, academies and enrichment providers: lesson packs, exam-style assessment, AI literacy and Google-ready delivery.
- R-GCSE
- single standards spine
- 119
- KS3 lessons built
- 0
- Wave-2 lint errors
Lessons, slides, worksheets, quiz Forms, tutor Gems, NotebookLM packs and Classroom posts share a consistent production grammar.
Seed Registers, Growth Logs, Harvest Blueprints and provenance appendices keep assessments tied to what has actually been taught.
Launch status:
The KS3 production spine is built. Reception to Year 6 and GCSE build waves are next. Pilot conversations are open for schools, partners and enrichment providers.
Curriculum architecture
A serious computing spine inside a memorable learning world.
Plant Bot is the classroom character and memory system. Computing remains the subject. Every year group moves pupils toward precise technical vocabulary, stronger evidence habits and exam-ready command words.
Spiral progression
Concepts return with more precision from early years to GCSE, so pupils grow into systems thinking rather than meeting it late.
Dual-track delivery
Full classroom delivery and enrichment delivery are separated, so assessment never outruns the actual teaching time available.
AI literacy thread
Annual AI lessons teach grounding, hallucination checks, attribution, prompt structure and safe use without unsafe account assumptions.
Assessment first
The curriculum is built with code registers, rubrics and exam blueprints, not bolted-on quizzes after the fact.
Reception to GCSE
Seven growth stages, one map.
Seedbed - Reception
Computing as story, pattern and choice.
Teacher-led picture, object and story activities build early sequencing, cause and effect, vocabulary and safe machine framing. No direct AI interaction.
- Playful algorithm language.
- Physical sorting and pattern work.
- Adult-mediated technology talk.
Assessment engine
The Harvest Rule makes drift expensive.
The assessment model is designed so a polished paper cannot quietly outrun what pupils were taught. Every serious question has a trail.
-
Seed Register
Objective codes, command-word ceilings, CORE/EXTEND status and provenance.
-
Growth Log
Teacher delivery record showing which objectives were actually grown.
-
Harvest Blueprint
Assessment planned before items, with AO balance and section weights locked.
-
Harvest Lint
Mechanical checks block untaught content, banned vocabulary and unlicensed command words.
-
Human Gate
AI can draft feedback. Teachers verify, moderate and release.
Google ecosystem
AI-driven lessons without handing the steering wheel to AI.
The operating model uses Google Classroom, Forms, Slides, Docs, Apps Script, Gemini Gems and NotebookLM, with pupil identity and assessment data kept behind explicit gates.
Classroom posts
Self-marking Forms
Slides decks
NotebookLM packs
Plant Bot tutor Gems
Human marking gates
Under-13 pattern
Teacher generates, checks, labels and posts.
Marking pattern
AI judgement stays pending until a human releases it.
Exam pattern
Live papers and mark schemes never enter pupil-facing tutor tools.
Evidence pattern
Public claims point back to a source, standard or build artifact.
Adoption shape
One curriculum, several ways to deliver it.
Academy delivery
Plant Bot Computing at Root Reboot.
The academy edition carries Root Reboot delivery language, site-level cohort planning and optional local grounding packs. The curriculum name, modules, phases and assessment machinery stay fixed.
Identity system
Distinctive enough to remember. Serious enough to trust.
The mark keeps Plant Bot warm and memorable, while the surrounding language stays suitable for school leaders, parents and qualification conversations.
Brand rules
- Plant Bot Computing is the public curriculum product brand.
- Root Reboot is the academy delivery brand.
- Plant Bot is a tool and tutor character, not a simulated friend.
- The metaphor supports memory, but summative assessment uses canonical computing language.

Build state
Enough is real now to pilot.
Year 7
Full unit family, June paper, revision guide, Google integration and teacher cockpit.
Years 8-9
KS3 completion with blueprints, Seed Registers, exams and lint-clean report.
Reception-Y6
Primary adaptation pass from indexed Teach Computing materials and local assessment evidence.
Years 10-11
GCSE build with practical rehearsal, portfolio options and exam-board precision.
Benchmark inspirations
Borrow the discipline, not the skin.
The structure draws design cues from respected computing and international curriculum systems, then grounds the claims in the Plant Bot Computing build.
Pilot enquiry
Bring Plant Bot Computing into a school, academy or enrichment setting.
