ICT Back
Information Communication Technology is incorporated into every area of study.
Our aims in using ICT are that all children will: -
develop practical skills in the use of ICT and the ability to apply these skills in the solving of problems;
extend the range of ICT tools used for communication, investigation and control;
select information, sources and media for their suitability;
enjoy using ICT and tackle all applications with confidence and a sense of achievement.
Pupils will have the opportunity to become familiar with basic aspects of computer and printer use and efficient use of keyboard and mouse management.
Pupils will:-
learn to create and present work on the word processor
learn to save, organise and analyse information
use a variety of software including databases, graphics programs, e-mail, spreadsheets, simulations and control
Groups are planned carefully with reference to gender, personality and ability. We have a range of additional resources for children with Special Educational Needs.
We have a computer suite with 24 workstations that is used extensively to support and enhance the curriculum. Children who have restricted access to computer facilities at home are identified and encouraged to attend computer club during lunchtime.
