About KS2 ICT
Key Stage 2 ICT helps children in Years 3-6 (ages 7-11) become confident, safe and sensible users of technology. Written by teachers, these short quizzes turn core ideas into quick practice with instant feedback, so children learn key vocabulary and make good digital choices.
At this age, “being good at ICT” is not just clicking the right buttons. It is understanding how devices and the internet work, knowing how to handle information, and staying safe and respectful online.
What This Section Covers
This section supports digital literacy across the curriculum. Children learn about common digital devices, how the internet connects people and information, and how data can be organised and searched using databases. Internet Safety topics also support responsible behaviour, privacy and smart decision-making online.
How to Use These Quizzes at Home
Use one quiz at a time, then talk through the feedback together. Ask your child to explain a new word, describe a safe choice, or show you an example, like creating a strong password idea or spotting information that should not be shared. Repeating a quiz after a short break helps learning stick.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ICT and Computing?
ICT often focuses on using technology, like creating documents, presentations and handling information. Computing also includes understanding how systems work and basic ideas like algorithms and data.
How can I support internet safety at home?
Agree simple rules, keep devices in shared spaces when possible, and talk about privacy. Remind children not to share personal details, to be kind online, and to tell an adult if something worries them.
How often should my child practise?
Short, regular sessions work best. One quiz a few times a week can build strong vocabulary and safer habits without feeling like a long homework task.
Are these quizzes suitable for all KS2 year groups?
Yes. They use clear language and cover a range of difficulty. Start with familiar topics, then build towards more detailed ideas about networks and data as confidence grows.
