ICT At Meden

Curriculum

Meden School's ICT department offers a broad range of courses to our students.  All Key Stage 3 pupils currently follow a discrete ICT course for 1 hour per week.  From September 2007 lessons will increase to 3 per fortnight.  The lessons include data logging, presentations, control systems, spreadsheets, databases, leaflet design and creating web pages.

At Key Stage 4 from September 2007 all pupils will gain an OCR Nationals qualification.  Pupils can also opt to take additional units.   These units involve all aspects of ICT, as well as creating graphics and multimedia projects. In the Sixth Form we offer OCR GCE in Applied ICT at AS and A2 level.  Some Y12 students follow Key Skills ICT courses.

Access to ICT

Many school departments use ICT to promote learning and pupils are also encouraged to use ICT out of lesson times.  The ICT Team are happy to support our colleagues in their use of ICT.  We regularly have over 60 students using PCs at lunchtimes.  The ICT block is also open to pupils after the school day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ICT Resources

Within our recently upgraded ICT Centre we have six ICT suites with a total of over 150 PCs.  Other suites are sited within the Technology, Science and Mathematics Faculties.  All students have e-mail accounts and can access our ICT resources remotely from home. The ICT resources are supported by a Systems Manager and two ICT Technicians.
