Year 6 Computing Lesson Plans

Pupils explore how computers store, retrieve, and manipulate data, including how information is represented in binary, how databases organise data for efficient retrieval, and how spreadsheets can be used to analyse datasets.

Pupils develop a sophisticated understanding of online safety and cybersecurity, moving beyond basic rules to understand how threats work and how to defend against them.

Pupils tackle a programming challenge of genuine complexity, applying decomposition and abstraction to plan a solution before writing any code.

Pupils have their first experience of text-based coding through HTML and CSS, moving beyond block-based environments to write code as text directly in a browser-based editor.
