About the resource

Summary

This KS2 curriculum resource bundle focuses on exploring artificial intelligence (AI) and assessing the credibility of information.
Designed for primary pupils in England, it aligns with the National Curriculum for Computing, English, and Citizenship (PSHE), emphasising digital literacy, online safety, and critical thinking.
Pupils learn what AI is, understand that not all information—especially AI-generated content—is reliable, and develop skills to evaluate digital sources critically.
The bundle covers key concepts such as misinformation, credibility, verification, and responsible technology use, helping children discern trustworthy information.
It supports cross-curricular learning by integrating computing knowledge with English reading comprehension and citizenship values.
Ideal for educators seeking resources on AI, media literacy, and online safety for Key Stage 2 learners, this comprehensive scheme fosters digitally responsible and informed young citizens.
