They start to use ICT to develop their ideas and record their creative work. They become familiar with hardware and software’. The majority of pupils are expected to be working within the levels 1 – 3 The expected attainment level at the end of key stage 1 is level 2

  8. Progression of Skills • As a school we have an ICT Skills Progression Table. • Makes ICT progression easier to track. • Provides next steps to children’s learning. • Enables teachers to make children’s learning more personal.
