Even though the Kent ICT progressions are presented in year groups, it is important that teachers are aware of the overall progression and make judgements on which units should be taught in which year groups based on pupils' prior experience / ICT capability. For example, pupils may design and create their own multimedia presentation showing awareness of audience in Year 4, rather than in Year 6 (see QCA Unit 6A).

Use an on screen turtle to explore and understand the impact of changing variables. (Modelling and Simulation) (4E) |
| Year 4 | Investigate physical data through sensing systems and data loggers. (5F) |
| Year 5 | Refine instructions to improve the efficiency (procedure) of the instructions they have created, and be able to link devices together. Be able to choose the appropriate sensors to monitor environmental conditions. |
| Year 6 | Create a sequence of instructions to control events including the use of feedback from input devices. |
