ICT in general is part of everyday life; we need to ensure that all pupils acquire a knowledge and understanding, combined with the ability to use various forms of ICT throughout the curriculum and in their future.

Melior Community College ICT Department aims to provide all pupils with the chance to achieve their potential in ICT, by providing interesting and challenging ICT lessons at both key stages.

We are very fortunate to be involved in two major projects: BSF (Building Schools for the Future) and Computers for Pupils (CfP).  These project will impact our pupils and the teaching and learning at Melior Community College.

We are focussing on Melior Community College being an “Anytime, anywhere” school which will motivate the school to become e-confident, which will encourage personalise learning in all subject areas.

All subject areas will use a common digital platform which will be use throughout North Lincolnshire LEA, with handheld devices which will all be connected to the school network, not only can this be accessed at school but also at home, to continue learning, homework and coursework.

ICT at Key Stage 3 consists of projects which incorporates the ICT National Curriculum and preparation for the OCR Nationals. In Year 7 and 9 they have a 1 lesson a week of ICT and ICTAC.

Within Key Stage 4, ICT lessons pupils will complete the OCR National in ICT and what effort they put in is what they achieve! Pupils can work towards 1 to 4 GCSE’s in ICT, with no exam. 

ICT is changing very rapidly in schools, we must adapt with the times to give our pupils a better future.
