ICT was rated good or outstanding innearly two thirds of primary schoolsinspected during the period; however, themedia reporting focussed on the poorer

performance in secondary schools.

Lack of teacher capability in key topicssuch as programming is singled out as a

particular concern, along with a lack ofattention to the needs and interests of

more able students.

64% decline in those taking GCSE ICT(from 2007 - 2011).
