At The Rackham we use technology to help raise the standards of learning for all pupils. Computers and other forms of technology are an everyday fact in today’s world, so it is vital that the children are aware of their influence and develop safe and confident attitudes in using them.
Throughout the school, pupils have access to mobile computing and multi-media devices. These allow pupils to be taught within the whole class, in small groups or as individuals. Pupils use Chrome books and iPads to support learning in many curriculum areas.
Computing follows the NCCE computing curriculum progression.
Technology is used in all subject areas to develop digital literacy and in computing lessons specifically, pupils will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of computing and a basic knowledge of programming.
Staff and Governors are aware of the need to embrace new technologies in the future and therefore work hard to adapt and improve our technical facilities and ensure they are utilised as fully as possible across the curriculum.
