ICT

ICT is the learning and teaching tool of the 21st century. By teaching pupils using ICT, you're not only helping them learn better; you're preparing them for a workplace – a world – already dominated by the computer. This is today's technology, not tomorrow's. “Curriculum online”

Aims & Objectives

• To ensure that the statutory entitlement for ICT is met for all students in the school.
• To provide all pupils with sufficient levels of skills in the use of IT to enable them to use such tools independently, in any efficient and effective manner, wherever they may be appropriate to support their learning or output in any subject.
