‘The Computing vision will equip pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world’

Students will learn a wide range of uses of hardware, application, and specialist software such as database and spreadsheet in society. They will investigate how information technology is used in a range of contexts, including business and organisation such as education and home use.

In Practical ICT students will gain a broad working knowledge of databases, spreadsheets, automated documents, and image, and to apply their knowledge and understanding to solve problems in a vocational setting.  They will learn how IT can be used to fulfil the needs of organisations and individual, and how data and information is used and transferred.

The students say...

“ICT is interesting and challenging and show how I could use different software to solve problems in the modern world. It provides me with a wide range of skills which are invaluable for my future either at universities or as an employee/employer”
