ICT at Derwent Lodge
Pupils at Derwent Lodge enjoy access to up to date computing facilities and software within a networked environment.
Lessons are fun and the work produced is often on display or used in specific lessons, not just kept on the computer for no one to see! Pupils from Years 3 to 6 have a double lesson per week in one of the ICT suites.
In Year 3 the pupils are reminded of the skills they already possess from Pre-prep and these are built upon over the year and then every successive year until they leave. This improves their basic skills and confidence and allows them to become familiar with new programs as they progress up the school.
Throughout their time at Derwent Lodge, pupils, will use Word, Excel, Publisher, Outlook and PowerPoint to produce work that covers the required objectives and is linked to other subjects to make it relevant to them.
Pupils also use the ICT suite in other lessons for research, project work, homework and Maths games.
