ICT and Business

ICT

The ICT department is currently based in a purpose built block and there are further classrooms in the main school. There are five well-equipped classrooms, each having 30 networked PC’s. There is a projector and screen in each room, which the teacher uses to demonstrate practical skills, and each room has a scanner and several digital cameras.

The aim of the department is to equip students with the skills and experiences that they will find relevant to the world they will enter when they leave our school. We aim to give the students the capability to use their initiative and make informed judgements about when and where to use ICT.

Key Stage 3

All students in years 7-9 study ICT for 3 hours per fortnight. The Key Stage 3 ICT Strategy must be delivered in all schools (DfES directive, Sept 2003), however, we have been teaching the new course materials since January 2003, across the whole of Key Stage 3. The new strategy includes many challenging activities and will improve the ICT capability of all 11-14 year olds. There are 3 themes to the strategy; finding things out, developing ideas and making things happen, exchanging and sharing information.

Key Stage 4

The majority of students study OCR National ICT which has 100% of the marks available through coursework tasks. This course allows students to develop a broad range of ICT skills, which they can develop further at an advanced level at Key Stage 5 or use in the work place.

Key Stage 5

A range of exciting courses will be offered from September 2010 when the school opens its new Sixth Form extension.

Business Studies - Key Stage 4

Business Studies is an optional subject at KS4. Students study for the BTEC First Certificate in Business, which is assessed by 3 coursework assignments. As it is a vocational course, all students are given the opportunity to research real life businesses through a variety of educational visits to local businesses of different sizes. Recent visits have been to The Sunderland Echo, Cameron’s Brewery, EDF Energy, Seaburn, Marriott Hotel and ASDA Boldon.

Business Studies - Key Stage 5

A range of exciting courses, including GCE Applied Business, Advanced Level Economics, Accountancy and Law, will be offered from September 2010 when the school opens its new Sixth Form extension.
