The National Curriculum for Computing aims to ensure that all pupils:
Key Stage One
Pupils should be taught to:
Key Stage Two
Pupils should be taught to:
Year 1
Animated Story Books
Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
Children are able to sort, collate, edit and store simple digital content e.g. children can name, save and retrieve their work and follow simple instructions to access online resources, use Purple Mash Create a story.
Year 2
Presenting Ideas
Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
Children use a range of media in their digital content including photos, texts and sound. Children are confident when creating, naming, saving and retrieving content.
Making Music
Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
Children are able to edit more complex digital data, such as music compositions within 2Sequence. Children are confident when creating, naming, saving and retrieving content.
Year 3
Touch Typing
Select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information.
Children can collect, analyse, evaluate and present data and information using a selection of software
Year 4
Animation
Select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information.
Children are able to make improvements to digital solutions based on feedback. Children make informed software choices when presenting information and data. They create linked content using a range of software such as 2Connect and 2Publish+. Children share digital content within their community, i.e. using Virtual Display Boards.

Year 5
3D Modelling
Select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information.
Children are able to make appropriate improvements to digital solutions based on feedback received and can confidently comment on the success of the solution. e.g. creating their own program to meet a design brief using 2Code. They objectively review solutions from others. Children are able to collaboratively create content and solutions using digital features within software such as collaborative mode. They are able to use several ways of sharing digital content, i.e. 2Blog, Display Boards and 2Email.
Word Processing

Year 6
Video presentation (including use of green screen).
Select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information.
Children make clear connections to the audience when designing and creating digital content. The children design and create their own blogs to become a content creator on the Internet, e.g. 2Blog. They are able to use criteria to evaluate the quality of digital solutions and are able to identify improvements, making some refinements.
