Nowadays, ICT skills are a major factor in enabling children to be confident, creative and independent learners. Through the teaching of ICT we equip our pupils to take their place in a rapidly changing world which is increasingly dependent on technology.
Lessons take place in our computer suite which is equipped with 32 computers. All classes have a weekly lesson of one hour in which they learn basic computing skills. ICT is also used as an important tool to aid research and presentation of work across a wide range of subjects.
In Years 3-5 we use a published scheme, (Nelson Thornes Primary ICT), which ensures progressive development of ICT skills. In Year 6 our pupils prepare for entry to the Senior School by practising the use of WORD and other standard software packages.
