ICT

The principle aim of the extra curricular activities, which go on within the ICT department, is to ensure that all pupils have access to computer facilities whenever possible so that their ICT project work can be progressed.

The computer rooms are available to all pupils in the school between Monday and Thursday lunchtimes.  KS4 and A Level students are frequently reminded of this additional time that can be used to complete IT project work, particularly following absence, or when falling behind in class time.

Project Workshops are also frequently used throughout the year, but in particular in the weeks approaching deadlines.  In these workshops, students can continue using the resources of the department, as well as being able to obtain one-to-one advice, from members of the department, on how to proceed with project work.
