Not prescriptive
Focus on essential knowledge and skills every child should have.
Teachers given the freedom to shape the curriculum to suit pupils’ needs
2014: Primary schools and secondary schools up to the age of 14.
2015: Secondary schools for 15 and 16 year olds.
![Page 3: Computing at Schools: A Guide to Parents](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051708/58887d6f1a28ab34788b6acd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Maths, expected to learn more at an earlier age.
History, a more chronological approach than anecdotal.
English, learn more Shakespeare with more importance on spelling.
Science, a shift towards hard facts and “scientific knowledge”.
The new computing curriculum with focus on how to write code

"What would we like our children- the general public of the future—to learn about computer science in schools?
We need to do away with the myth that computer science is about computers.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes, biology is about microscopes or chemistry is about beakers and test tubes.
Science is not about tools, it is about how we use them and what we find out when we do."
Micheal R. Fellows, Ian Parberry (1993) "SIGACT trying to get children excited about CS". in: Computing Research News. January 1993.
