ICT Departmental Philosophy

The ICT Department of Copthorne Preparatory School believes that the ability to use ICT effectively is an essential life skill in modern society. Our aim is to produce learners who are confident and effective users of ICT.

We believe that all pupils have an entitlement to the ICT curriculum regardless of gender, disability, ethnicity, social class or special learning needs and we will ensure that our provision meets the needs of all learners. We recognize that ICT has the ability to motivate and enthuse pupils, to enable them to work individually, co-operatively and collaboratively and to develop perseverance and flexibility and we will plan opportunities for pupils to develop these skills.

Our aim is to ensure that all pupils achieve high standards in ICT capability and to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding required to become confident and competent users of ICT.
