ICT, Computer Science, IMedia and
Business Department
This departments goal is to equip students with the
skills they need to explore, understand and use new and emerging technologies
ready for tomorrows world.
Through our curriculum, students learn
a wide range of ICT techniques that will help them at school, further education
and in the workplace. It is our intention that all our learners should develop
skills relevant for their futures. The
focus throughout lessons is on using technology as a tool to solve problems,
while gaining confidence in their abilities.
KS3 Information & Computing Technology
At Key Stage 3 all pupils learn a variety of foundational computing knowledge and skills, business concepts and IMedia techniques. They explore topics such as computational thinking, algorithms, programming, data representation, computer architecture and networks. Alongside this, pupils learn about how to create a wide range of different media products for different audience and purposes, utilising tools from numerous software packages.
