Aims
ICT Department
1. To develop, maintain and stimulate pupils’ curiosity, interest and enjoyment in ICT and to encourage pupils to have open, enquiring minds and to perceive ICT in the context of a wider body of knowledge, skills and vocabulary. Pupils should ideally become autonomous users of ICT with the associated skills supporting life long study, the pursuit of personal interests and prospective employment in a modern technological society.
2. To enable pupils to acquire appropriate, transferable ICT skills, knowledge and understanding (Progression must feature in the acquisition of ICT skills).

Pupils should feel confident enough with their transferable skills that they are encouraged to use unfamiliar software.
3. To enable all pupils to have equal access to ICT and to experience success in their work
4. To allow pupils to develop informed opinions about the use of ICT and to be able to support this with reasoned arguments.
5. To enable pupils to develop a range of desirable personal qualities such as safety awareness, politeness, perseverance, concern for others, initiative and independence.
