Information & Communication Technology

It is true to say that ICT skills have become necessary in many aspects of school life; from lessons to leisure activities and after school homework, computers are used to research and enhance many tasks and activities.

Our pupils acquire ICT skills easily and confidently.  Our network joins staff and pupils to each other – and with the rest of the world through the Internet.  Pupils and staff use computers, electronic whiteboards, digital cameras and a wide range of software with the enthusiasm and assurance that systems are safe.

ICT is taught discretely to all classes throughout Key Stage 3 until the end of Year 9. The aim is to ensure that all students are competent and confident users of ICT and that they can make efficient and appropriate use of their ICT skills to enhance their learning in any subject.  Students have the opportunity to obtain the new EDEXCEL GCSE ICT qualification, at the end of key stage 4.
