ICT - Information Communication Technology
Children in Year 1 to 6 have one ICT lesson a week with Miss Crabtree in the ICT Suite.
Children are taught a range of skills which are developed as they progress through the school. The content of the childrens ICT lessons is cross curricular and supports the learning that pupils are doing in other subjects.
