During Key Stage One pupils will be taught:

• understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
• create and debug simple programs
• use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs
• use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content
• recognise common uses of information technology beyond school
• use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies

During Key Stage Two pupils will be taught:

• design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
• use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output
• use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
• understand computer networks, including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the World Wide Web, and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration
• use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content
• 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
• use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact

At St Luke’s we use Kapow planning to guide our teaching

KS1

Year 1/2 working on a 2 year rota of units – online safety is taught at an age appropriate level

KS2

Currently Years 3/4 and 5 are working on a 3 year rota of units and Year 6 cover their Year 6 units.

This approach allows us to effectively map out a full provision across a child’s time in KS2.  Teachers carefully adapt content by pre teaching concepts if a child has not come across key content before. Spatial Sense is taught at year group level each year to allow for a carefully planned sequenced of knowledge which builds towards Year 6.
