This link takes you to the QCA scheme of work for ICT.

Where do the different units for the year which you have chosen fit into the NC headings (Developing ideas and making things happen, Exchanging and sharing information, Reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses)? Look at some of th other QCA units - under which headings would you put these?

Your school should have customized the scheme of work - saying (at least) which software and other resources will be used to teach the unit. School schemes may also be based on LA schemes:

• Blackburn with Darwen ICT Scheme of Work (it's probably worth all looking at the BwD overview)
.
• Lancashire County Council ICT Scheme of Work

Assessment of ICT

• Ofsted, 2009, The importance of ICT: information and communication technology in primary and secondary schools, 2005/2008

  Information and Communication Technology in the National Curriculum.
