The Curriculum

EYFS Early Learning Goals
Children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes.

Key Stage 1	Key Stage 2
Pupils should be taught to:  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.	Pupils should be taught to:  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.
