Igniting Creativity with Tools - Improving Computer literacy with Training
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is a successful, exciting and innovative subject. The ICT curriculum prepares pupils to use a wide variety of software to access, manipulate and present information. The aim is to promote creativity, initiative and independent learning using the tools of an increasingly technological society.
We offer a curriculum that is varied and that mixes software used in a business environment with creative software used in the iMedia industry. This helps students to use tools to support learning in other curriculum areas and prepares them for further education and careers.
