Information Communication Technology

The Clarendon School ICT Faculty is responsible for ensuring that all of the students within the school are taught basic ICT principles. ICT lessons are taught in one of the four purpose built classrooms with all machines networked, offering students access to their own individual work area. Programs used at the school include a wide range of educational software including the standard Microsoft Office package allowing word processing and spreadsheet design. All machines are currently using Windows XP Professional as their operating system.

They may continue with the course that they started in Year 9 and then specialise in either Media or Graphics as their second module on the CIDA course, or they may follow one of the GCSE courses that we offer in ICT, Information Business and Communication Technology, or Business Communication Systems.
