The ICT department runs a range of courses. At Key Stage 3 this is our own National Curriculum based course. At Key Stage 4 these include skills-based courses such as OCR Nationals in ICT, and OCR Clait awards.  On the website, we will be providing resources for students to continue their work from home.
