Secondary ICT

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) @ BIS prepares students to participate in a rapidly changing world in which work and other activities are increasingly transformed by access to varied and developing technology.

ICT for Years 7 & 8

Students will cover topics such as Presenting Information, Control Systems, Publishing for the Web Spreadsheets used for Modelling and Simulation, Multimedia, Animation, Databases, Desk Top Publishing Game Making and much more.

ICT is taught in a fun and exciting way that allows students to be creative and topical as well as informed about ICT in our society. Increased capability in the use of ICT promotes initiative and independent learning, with students being able to make informed judgments about when and where to use ICT to best effect, and to consider its implications for home and work both now and in the future. These skills are not taught in isolation but in the context of other subjects.

GCSE ICT

The ICT IGCSE course is a 100% exam based qualification which builds upon the skills learnt during Key Stage 3. New topics are introduced, such as Networking, Justifying choices of material used, Types of Computers and Hardware, Software and Storage Devices.
