This Computing video supports teachers in setting up and managing Scratch accounts for pupils, exploring how Scratch works and how to use Scratch Studios for class sharing. It outlines the steps needed to register a teacher account, create a class, and add pupils using a CSV file. It also introduces the Scratch interface, explaining how to add sprites and backgrounds, and what to do when pupils get stuck. Key vocabulary such as “sprite”, “costumes”, and “studio” is covered, helping teachers confidently navigate and troubleshoot the basics of the program.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme of work – videos. It builds teachers’ subject knowledge and prepares them to lead pupils in creative programming activities with Scratch. The video ensures teachers are equipped to manage accounts, support pupils in getting started, and use Scratch Studios to collect and assess work. It also supports the wider goal of developing computational thinking in a safe and organised way.
