Our Vision

To place Computing and Information Communication Technology at the centre of the learning experience for all of our pupils. In doing so, this will help to prepare our pupils for adulthood.

Our Aims

The aim of Computing is to make learning, interesting, exciting and to make all pupils enthusiastic about learning new Computing concepts. We want to develop all pupils’ learning and in an ever-changing technological world ensure that all of our pupils can embrace new technology and use it to improve their learning.

How we deliver Computing, Digital Skills and Business  at Croft Community School

Pupils at our school have one timetabled lesson of Computing each week in Key Stage 3 and one timetabled lesson of Digital Functional Skills at Key Stage 4.  At Key Stage 4 pupils have the opportunity to complete an accredited course in Functional Digital Skills Entry Level/Level 1 and can also complete NOCN Level 1 Business Administration as part of their KS4 Option choices.

Facilities

At Croft Community School we have a designated computer suite and there are several computers or a bank of laptops in each classroom. All classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and are linked to a printer. We have several banks of iPads and laptops available for whole school use. We recently acquired two portable interactive screens that can be adapted to cater for individual pupil needs.
