Information and Communication Technology
KS3
The process of developing independent research and presentation skills
begins in year 7. In the first three years at Blundell’s pupils have
time tabled lessons in ICT. They explore a wide range of software and
their applications with a series of structured tasks throughout each year.
Away from the main information area there is an equal number of computers. All departments now have at least one computer and most houses have a room with a number of PCs for work during prep. The new laboratory in the Physics department has its own small network and several departments boast a small collection of machines.
The whole education area of Information and Communication Technology is one that is mushrooming to say the least. At Blundell’s we try to keep up to date with our hardware and software so that pupils who leave here are computer literate and able to use these tools as an effective companion to their study or research.
