The Lancashire Schools' ICT skills progression has been produced to support teachers in Key Stages 1 and 2 to develop children's ICT capability across a range of cross curricular contexts. It is NOT meant to be a 'scheme of work' but to provide guidance and expectations for the application of ICT in the wider curriculum. Providing children with a range of ICT experiences will encourage them to become proficient, independent and discerning users of technology who recognise where and when ICT can enhance learning and employ appropriate strategies to stay safe.

This document contains suggested ‘core’ software, hardware and web based resources to support development of children’s ICT capability as outlined in the Lancashire Schools’ ICT progression document above.  

The list of titles has been compiled to reflect those most commonly used in schools at the time of publishing. You may, however, have other titles in addition to this which are already used in your school.

You do not need ALL of the titles on this list, as many replicate key features, but should select those most appropriate for your setting. An individual title may, for example, be used to cover text and multimedia objectives throughout Key Stage 1 and into Key Stage 2. The expectations for progression in ICT capability will, however, determine the way a title is used.

The Self-review framework is a self evaluation audit tool which can support your school to improve and broaden your use of ICT. Further details are available at www.lancsngfl.ac.uk/srf
