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).
