We have successfully implemented a Bring Your Own Device initiative for all learners aged 7 and above. We also offer a broad and balanced Computing curriculum to students all the way from primary up to A Level which prepares pupils to ‘use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world’. The blend of ICT and Computer Science topics within lessons allows students to develop technological skills and an understanding of the importance Technology holds in everyday life. STEM/STEAM projects are at the forefront of cross-curricular planning, allowing students to develop knowledge across multiple principles at the same time. We have invested in technology to allow students the opportunity to interact with the latest hardware on the market. We offer Robotics to our primary and secondary level students.

Raspberry Pi– Small in size the Raspberry Pi is a very powerful tool which we have integrated into our teaching. The devices help to instill computational thinking and skills such as decomposition, pattern recognition, logical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving.

3D printing– Students have been forward thinking with regard to how the 3D printer can support school initiatives. In the past they have been used to develop tools to support teaching of Computing and also props within school productions.
