Courses
I C T is taught for 1 hour per week in Years 7, 8 and 9 during which students gain confidence in the use of Microsoft Office XP and general computer techniques. The Adobe creative suite of programs is available on all computers and students develop their skills in creating websites and computer animation using Dreamweaver CS3 and Flash CS3.
Great importance is given to the concept of using I C T as an aid to learning throughout the school.
A GCSE in I C T is offered as on option in Year 10 and the remaining students are entered for the short course.
In the sixth form Applied ICT (Edexcel) is offered at AS and A2. In the A2 we do the option in Multimedia (unit10) using Flash and various graphics packages.
