There are 4 discreet ICT suites in the college, as well as additional rooms located within other subject areas. We have a ratio of 1:3 student to computers.

All students study ICT at Keys stage 3 for one lesson a week and can then opt for ICT in Year 10.

Students use a variety of software, including the MS Office, website Dreamweaver, MovieMaker, Audacity, Internet Explorer. Students have access to a variety of ICT hardware such as Scanners, Digital Cameras, Video Cameras, PDA’s and microphones allowing them to create ICT work which is unique and up to date.

As well as attending ICT lessons, students can attend after school sessions where they can practise using the equipment in smaller groups

When students reach Level 3, they continue to develop their work-related skills and knowledge, but now progress to more advanced topics – such as strategic management, customer service and marketing.

The amount of detail increases, as students take a more in-depth look at the business world, and gain an excellent all-round understanding of the challenges and rewards it offers.
