Dear Parents/Guardians,
Message from the Head Teacher
Computer SuiteWe are in the process of creating a computer suite in Room 9 in the school. Currently we have 11 computers installed with a smartboard and projector being installed next week.
Over the next term all of our classes will have access to the suite for a minimum of 1 hr per week. All classes will also have access to ICT every day as all classes are installed with a smartboard, projector, a laptop and a flip camera.
In May/June we have set an ambitious target of £3000 to be raised to further update our equipment. We are an ambitious school and, in a digital age where ICT is part of our daily lives, we strive to ensure our resources and the children’s experience in this area of the curriculum is equally ambitious with up-to-date, high quality resources.
Fundraising details will follow. Please contact the school if you have any ideas for fundraising. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
