This Framework meets all of the UK National Curriculum requirements for the delivery of ICT for primary schools, but offers more in terms of creativity, collaboration and modern skill development. It’s also, crucially nowadays, designed to increase students’ awareness of e-safety and their responsibilities as modern technology users.

My current ICT curriculum consists of three documents that I have written: Junior Computer Science. EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 ICT Framework.
