Levels of Progression for Using ICT
On this page
The Levels of Progression for Using ICT are set out in can-do statements. They set the standards of what is expected for pupil competency in Using ICT. They can help teachers make judgements about the levels pupils are working at and are a guide to progression in this skill.
In the academic year 2024/25, schools should submit levels in Communication (Reading) and Using Mathematics (Number/Number and Algebra) for pupils in Years 4, 7 and 10. There is no requirement to submit levels in Using ICT. See the Interim End of Key Stage Assessment Arrangements 2024/25 resource for details.
There are progression statements for each of the 5 ‘E’s, which are the curriculum requirements for Using ICT.
The expected level for the end of:
- Key Stage 1 is Level 2;
- Key Stage 2 is Level 4; and
- Key Stage 3 is Level 5.
Expansion of the Levels of Progression
We have developed the Expansion of the Levels of Progression in Using ICT to help teachers better understand the Levels of Progression statements. The guidance includes examples that show how each broad progression statement might look in practice.
These examples are not exhaustive and do not represent complete activities. However, they do show typical ways in which pupils work at each level in Using ICT.
You can also view the expansion statements by clicking on the bullet points in the Interactive Levels of Progression.
