ICT

Over the last 15 to 20 years, a huge explosion of knowledge, research and technology, has taken place and the pace of change is still accelerating. Our children will need to be able to handle equipment that is new to us, and some which is currently relatively unknown. For these adults of the 21st Century, the technology curriculum will need to include the following skills designing and making, using control technology, information handling, modelling and simulations, desktop publishing (including graphics and the use of CD ROMs and digital cameras) and word-processing.

We have a dedicated ICT suite with an interactive whiteboard and projector, 16 networked desktop computers with Internet access, Each class has two computers, which are also linked to the Internet, all classrooms have interactive whiteboards. A separate PC with video conferencing facilities is also available, along with numerous digital cameras for photography and video work. The school library is also managed using ICT so children are able to scan and return their own books.
