ICT Provision
| Computer skills are taught throughout the lower college and all scholars become proficient in the use of industry-standard word-processor, spreadsheet and database packages, DTP (Desk top publishing) and, of course, keyboard skills.
There is a campus wide wireless network (WLAN) so that any scholar with a wireless enabled laptop will automatically be on the school network and, through that, on the internet from wherever they are. Internet use is silently monitored and censored using sophisticated software. All scholars have their own e-mail account and can keep in regular contact with friends and family. For those without laptops, the ICT centre, the library ICT resource area and the many departmental computer facilities are available. Classrooms have interactive whiteboards and many of the lesson notes, powerpoint ® presentations and video clips used in lessons are available for scholars to download from the College’s server on to their own computers. This is of enormous value for revision and of particular benefit to children with dyslexic difficulties. |
