Computing & Coding at Primary

"The proposed changes to the ICT curriculum will bring challenges to all schools but especially primary schools. The programme designed and delivered by New Ways to Learn will provide the necessary support and guidance.."

Computing! With the changes to the ICT curriculum and the recent computer science renaissance, primary schools are being challenged with delivering a comprehensive curriculum that firmly places computing across KS1 and KS2.
