Scalby School was granted Technology College status from September 2002. This has
meant a major investment in the college and its facilities over the next few years:
£100,000 for capital equipment and four annual grants of £126,000 starting in September
2002.
Sponsorship totalling £50,000 also had to be raised and the school has been supported
by a large number of local companies, parents and friends, with Lord Derwent acting
as President of the Sponsorship Committee. Supporters include Scarborough Building
Society, McCain Foods, Raflatac, Transbus Plaxton and Sir Alan and Lady Ayckbourn.
As a result of its new status the school will focus on extending ICT throughout
the campus and in particular developing ICT, technology, science and mathematics
through innovative teaching and learning. To aid these developments a purpose-built
ICT suite of four rooms has been built. The rooms have state-of-the-art equipment
including interactive whiteboards, flat-screen monitors and the latest industry-standard
software. Each room also has dedicated teachers’ stations with software that enables
total control of the students’ PCs, facilitating enhanced teaching and learning.
