Curriculum - ICT
In Runnymede St Edward’s, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an integral part of the primary school curriculum. It is taught as a discrete subject and is also reinforced through a more cross-curricular approach. All children from Reception onwards, receive at least one formal ICT session each week, lead by a specialist ICT teacher. The scheme of work follows the National Curriculum and is supplemented by enrichment activities to challenge and inspire. Lessons are delivered with access to a projector and interactive whiteboard
The ICT department has a dedicated suite with 25 workstations networked to a server in the main room and a further 24 networked workstations in classrooms around the school. The pupils have the use of a wide range of equipment and the web learning resource ‘Espresso’ supplements curricular needs. Every pupil in the school has their own username and email account and access to the ICT room is encouraged with a lunchtime ICT club running throughout the school year.
ICT in itself would have little purpose if pupils were unable to have the opportunity to apply their skills. The pupils are responsible for the school newsletter, they take part in multimedia projects, they produce posters for events and for their classrooms. Children’s work is also celebrated in wall displays and booklets of work.
By the end of Key Stage 2, Runnymede pupils have had the experience of a wide range of ICT activities and software packages, after which they are more than ready to meet the challenges of their continuing education.
