Key Stage 2 Information and Communication Technology

About KS2 ICT

KS2 ICT (Information and Communication Technology) helps children aged 7–11 build essential digital knowledge. Short 10-question quizzes with instant feedback make it easy to learn key ideas such as devices, data, networks and staying safe online.

Start with safe choices on the web in Internet Safety, then explore hardware and peripherals in Digital Devices. Find out how the web works in The Internet and get hands-on with organising information in Databases.

Use the quizzes for homework, retrieval practice or pre-topic checks. Revisiting a quiz after a day or two strengthens recall, builds accurate vocabulary and develops confident, safe technology use across the curriculum.

See the official Government guidance: Computing programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2.
