Welcome to the ICT Department
The overall aim of the ICT department is to encourage pupils to develop an understanding of the principles of problem solving using ICT, and of the range of applications of ICT and the effect of their use, and to apply this understanding when developing ICT solutions to problems.
In today's world, individuals will increasingly need technological and information literacy skills that include the ability to gather, process and manipulate data. These skills are now as essential as the traditional skills of numeracy and literacy. The impact of ICT on society is enormous, and as the percentage of business and households connected to communication networks such as the Internet grows, so does the need for individuals who can master and manipulate these technologies.
The intention is therefore to provide the opportunity for each pupil to learn the analytical, interpersonal, and technical skills they require to be active participants in an exciting and dynamic world.
