Curriculum
Key Stage 3 Pupils are allocated one lesson per week in Year 7, 8 and 9. We aim to give the pupils a breadth of experience in Office software applications and multimedia devices and software applications. Other activities include building websites, various types of programming, social networking and digital citizenship. The curriculum is flexible and open to change depending on emerging technologies, topical issues and the agreement of all ICT teachers. When possible, cross curricular links are made within ICT projects to other subjects.

Taking apart Student Newspaper
Helping out to produce the school’s Yearbook
Touch Typing;
Object oriented programming
