The aims of the ICT Department are to:
- enable students to enjoy using ICT
- develop understanding so that the students engage with different applications with confidence and a sense of achievement
- develop practical skills in the use of ICT and the ability to apply these skills to everyday life and the world of work
- understand the limitations of ICT and the responsibility that goes with its use.
Currently, our facilities include three dedicated ICT suites as well as four other suites which are used jointly with other faculties. Each suite is fitted with up to 30 personal computers and interactive whiteboard.
