Computing/ICT

Through Computing/ICT students are taught a range of skills focusing on a wide variety of technologies. Students are taught skills in word-processing, databases, spreadsheet modelling, the internet, E-Safety / cyberbullying, Powerpoint presentations, desk-top publishing and computer programming. ICT is taught to all year groups across Key Stages 3 and 4 and is currently taught to Year 12,  Year 13 and Year 14 in the 6th Form. In Years 10, 11 and 6th Form students follow an external accreditation course.

As well as using a wide range of software programs, students use a range of multimedia including tablets and scanners. All our computers are linked via the wireless network and individual students have their own personal space on the network to store all their work. Our ICT equipment is updated on a regular basis to keep up-to-date with the ever changing technological world.

Most classrooms and the ICT suite have interactive TV's to assist with teaching and learning and there are at least four computers in all classroom bases.

Students study suitable accredited courses at Entry Level, Level 1 and  Digital Functional Skills Entry Level 3 and Level 1 (where appropriate).
