Michael Gove suspended the ICT curriculum in 2012 to give schools more freedom over what and how to teach technology subjects. Ofsted reports found that while primary schools taught some ICT skills well, programming, data handling and cross-curricular planning were areas of weakness. A new computing curriculum is now being proposed to ensure all students understand fundamental computing principles like algorithms, data and programming from an early age. It aims to make students competent and creative users of technology through practical experience writing code to solve problems across different subjects.
A survey was conducted of 22 respondents on their use of ICT resources. The key findings were:
- Laptops were used twice a week or more by over 80% of respondents. iPads were used once a week or more by over 90% of respondents.

- Whiteboards were used at least once a week by over 75% of respondents during independent learning.
- Respondents requested more iPads, laptops, cameras and software/training to help with teaching and learning. The majority also felt they needed more training on specific software like Acti-Xpressions.
