Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is integrated throughout the curriculum, with pupils developing word-processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheet, database, graphical and information handling skills in the context of their day-to-day work in the various subjects.

 ICT at Scalby School is always changing and is taught differently every year in order to keep up with the changing world of Information and Communications Technology.  In ICT pupils will use their computer in as creative a way as possible, using up to date hardware and software. Students will be producing computer graphics, multimedia presentations, cartoon animations, scanning images, distorting your digitized pictures and even composing your own computer music. Students will of course use the essential Desk Top Publishing, database, spreadsheet and word processing programs.

 Information and Communication Technology provides an excellent grounding in computer application skills. These skills will also be useful for other courses at college or university or for everyday work. ICT develops transferable skills and encourages problem solving. It influences artistic, business, creative, cultural, educational, industrial and social activity. Students are encouraged to take control of their learning and exercise ownership over the data they create and manipulate.

 Homework is generally the paper-based preparation, designing and planning of school computer focused activities.
