Information Communication Technology

Our pupils receive a thorough grounding in the use of information technology and the school has been consistently praised for the excellence of its work in this field.

Children are excited by the possibilities that information technology offers and are quick to appreciate that they can employ powerful tools to help them to solve problems. The school has also been active in researching the ways in which children use and respond to computers.

Our pupils use computers in all areas of the curriculum and as well as using subject related programs they gain experience of open ended applications such as word processing, graphics, spreadsheet and database  software. Other facilities available to them include access to a wide range of computer based reference material including internet facilities in every classroom. The computer to pupil ratio is very good and facilities are continually being upgraded. All classes have the use of the computer room in addition to the facilities in their classrooms and access to laptop computers.  The computer room has been fully refurbished and equipped to a very high standard.  Our ICT facilities are second to none.

We intend our pupils to have access to the best possible facilities in terms of appropriateness and ease of use, bearing in mind the speed at which technology is developing, and are constantly reviewing needs and practices so that they can gain the greatest advantage.  All pupils have an hour a week of specialist ICT teaching in which basic skills are taught and their application across the curriculum is also developed.

The school has responded to the advent of the National Grid for Learning by upgrading systems and introducing easier Internet access for use in all areas of the curriculum.  We have a policy of continuous redevelopment.
