The Computing National Curriculum (2013)
The tables below breaks down the National Curriculum Statements into three objective types: Computer Science, Digital Literacy and Information Technology. We have translated these into what they mean for Primary Teachers for both KS1 and KS2 (for the EYFS please see the EYFS page). Alongside this we have linked these obsjectives to activities and/or software you could use to teach them, and links to other areas of the curriculum.
