Absolutely! Here’s a link hwb.gov.wales/curriculum-f... I’ll also add the approximate ages of the progression steps as our curriculum isn’t separated by year group but by ‘stages’ (very much ‘stage not age’ focused) so this gives a rough idea in terms of age-related expectations #PrimaryComputing

Interestingly, now I’m teaching in Wales, there’s a bit more of a shift to this! We have the DCF (Digital Competency Framework) which is a mandatory cross-curricular skill framework that should be incorporated by everybody, across all areas of learning! #primarycomputing #EduSky
