Information & Communication Technology (ICT)

Information and Communication Technology has influenced vast changes in society over the past couple of decades and it continues to develop at a phenomenal rate.

Over recent years, many UK businesses have reported that the ICT skills gap has continued to increase year on year and they have reached the highest recorded levels. ICT plays an important role in the school curriculum and is now being recognised as a ‘priority’ subject by Government.

ICT within the Ffynone House School curriculum is designed to enhance the learning experiences of pupils and to help them develop essential skills. Pupils are provided with the opportunity to use ICT independently and collaboratively, to consider which ICT tools best suit the task undertaken and to know when to use ICT effectively to complete a task.

Ffynone House School offers ICT as a discrete subject in Key Stages 3 and 4, and is offering a new ‘A’ level course from 2010.
