ICT
Our ICT curriculum is based on an integrated approach where key skills are developed and children are given opportunities to further their understanding through topic based work. Our school is extremely well resourced with ratios well above the national recommendations. All computers are Intranet linked and children have a secure log-on system on the server where they store their files.
ICT is planned on a two-year cycle of units, which cover every aspect of the National Curriculum. The children have experiences of using a range of software applications including spreadsheets, databases and presentation programs.
At Guillemont, we assess ICT every term and this assessment is important to the delivery of the units in the cycle. We, as a whole school community, value ICT and view it as a vital life skill. It is through the enthusiasm and commitment of the staff that high standards in ICT are attained at Guillemont every year.
In 2005 Guillemont gained the NAACE Mark in recognition for the excellent quality of its work in ICT. This is a highly praised National Award and the school is proud of its excellence in this subject especially as a tool used to promote high levels of achievement and independence.
