ICT
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is used throughout the school in the course of learning and teaching. ICT is expanding rapidly and finds a place in every area of the curriculum. Greenford High School believes that ICT is a powerful tool to enhance learning, and to assist communication within the School and within the community. The effective use of ICT enhances the learning power of students by developing their creative and thinking skills, collaboration and independent learning.
- Ensure that all students become confident and competent users of ICT
- Motivate and excite students about the possibilities that ICT has to offer
- Guide individuals to become independent and inter–dependent users of ICT
- Support students in all aspects of their learning to achieve their potential
In Year 7 students develop their skills within the context of the Integrated Curriculum and Thinking Skills. From Year 8 ICT is developed with separate ICT lessons, ultimately leading towards every student taking the Functional Skills qualification in Year 10. In Key Stage 4, ICT is also a GCSE option.
ICT in the Sixth Form is well developed and courses offered include AQA AS and A level ICT and AS and A-level computing. Sixth Formers have open access to the Learning Resource Centre for their academic studies and the use of e-mail. A number of our Sixth Form students also support main school classes as part of the school mentoring programme.
