Excellent resources and network infrastructure, together with a skilled teaching staff, mean ICT helps to raise standards throughout our school.
Children need to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding of ICT before they can effectively use ICT in other subjects. At GEMS WPS ICT is taught as a specific subject from Year 1, with strong cross curricular links. Children in Foundation Stage are given regular opportunities to develop early ICT skills by experimenting and using computers to express their ideas.
We have two computer suites, each with 20 networked PCs, Interactive whiteboards and projectors, colour laser printers and scanners. As in the classroom, a full range of eLearning resources, web-based materials and leading educational software is available during ICT lessons, and when pupils use the suites for learning in other subjects.
Our classrooms are equipped with Interactive Whitebaords and projectors, high speed internet access and a wide range of interactive learning aids.
All staff and classes have email facilities. GEMS WPS is committed to continued investment in the best educational ICT resources, and developing the ways in which technology improves learning and teaching.
