Changed ICT Curriculum

Michael Gove announcement January 2012

•The Programme of Study for ICT will be ‘disapplied’ from Sept 2012•ICT will remain compulsory at all key stages•Technology can be embedded across all subjects•Programme of Study would remain on the website as a reference

The Royal Society Report on Computing in Schools: disaggregation of ICT

• Digital literacy (exchanging and sharing information)• Information Technology (finding things out)• Computer Science (developing ideas and making things happen)


What will the curriculum for ICT look like?

David Brown, Ofsted Lead on ICT, Naace Conference March 2012 •from Sep 12 it is still required for schools to teach ICT.•schools will need to demonstrate to Ofsted inspectors that they have an appropriate ICT programme of study in place for all key stages. (of their own choosing)•schools will need to demonstrate that they have a clear understanding of the levels of attainment in their ICT studies expected of students and demonstrate that their students are satisfactorily reaching the expected levels of attainment.

The current ICT curriculum and POS is the baseline, with schools expected to improve on it and the way it is taught.


Pathways forward:

•Audit the use of ICT across the curriculum (schools using the Somerset ICT Progressions will already have planned for use in this way)

•Plan for development of teacher and TA knowledge of control and modelling as required

•Plan for the monitoring of the inclusion of ICT in all areas of learning



“Teaching of ICT was good or outstanding in nearly two thirds of the primary schools visited. Teachers and teaching assistants were increasingly confident in their own use of ICT and able to support pupils more effectively. Weaknesses remained, however, in the teaching of more demanding aspects of ICT such as control and data handling.”

The Ofsted Review of ICT in schools 2008-11

Creative ICT Projects – Control and Monitoring


The knowledge that...Computers are used to control many different kinds of devicesICT can capture changes in an environment

The skills to...Write procedures to control devicesMonitor changes in an environment using ICT

The understanding that...Efficient procedures can be used to solve problemsChanges in an environment can feed back into control procedures
