ICT

Years 4 - 8

At Aberlour house, our aim is for students to develop ICT skills, which they can use to enhance their learning in all areas of the curriculum and to encourage them to reflect on the application of Information and Communication Technology in everyday life.

The ICT provision is extensive, with two suites of wireless, Internet linked laptop computers. This provides tremendous scope for subject teachers to use ICT within their own subjects.

Each class receives one formal ICT lesson each week, following the QCA Key Stage 2 and 3 Schemes of Work. Touch-typing instruction is an integral part of each scheme.

All pupils are given their own e-mail addresses and both day students and boarders are given access to the computers during their free time, with appropriate supervision.
