Welcome to ICT
ICT is taught as a discrete subject of the curriculum to both Key Stage Two and Key Stage Three pupils. Children are part of a small group and in many classes a ratio of one pupil to one computer is common.
Pupils follow the schemes of work laid down by the Government and are encouraged to apply their skills and knowledge to other areas of the curriculum.
The school has two well-equipped ICT suites and a range of peripherals. The school has a wireless network allowing access of ICT across the whole of the school.
The children are encouraged to use computers and the Internet to present their work not only at school but also at home
