Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
ICT is one of the core areas of the National Curriculum; we also consider that the ability to use ICT confidently and effectively is a vital life skill.
The school follows the Northamptonshire Inspection
and Advisory Service (NIAS) scheme of work which
links with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority
(QCA) scheme of work, to implement National
Curriculum requirements.
Where possible the ICT taught supports and enhances other areas of the curriculum. ICT supports first hand experience, allows a pupil to try out different ideas and take risks. It increases the motivation of pupils and gives pupils immediate access to richer sources of material. The skills focused on are Communicating, Handling information, Controlling, Monitoring and Modelling.
Each class have access to an interactive whiteboard and a digital camera. We have a main suite comprising of 15 computers and a mini suite with a further 6 computers. There are also 7 curriculum laptops available to be used for cross curricular work. Each class has an hours slot each week in the main suite specifically for the teaching of ICT skills. Further slots are available for cross curricular work. The children are taught how to use a variety of software packages, the Internet and email. Other information technologies used include digital cameras, video recorders, tape recorders, electronic keyboards and control robots.
We encourage children to use ICT at home and you can find some useful websites in the pupil section of the school website.
