ICT

ICT skills are both fun to learn and necessary for modern life. Our Lady’s Abingdon prepares pupils to participate in tomorrow's rapidly changing technologies. We aim to develop enjoyment, understanding and confidence in the use of technology, whilst appreciating its limitations and avoiding any dangers. Our pupils learn to think and to be creative, whilst mastering ever-advancing skills in the use of word processing, spreadsheet, database and graphics software. Pupils have the opportunity to join a club and work on web pages or animation projects. All pupils have lessons in ICT up to Year 9, when they work towards the short course GCSE examination. The subject is also offered as an option for the full course GCSE in Years 10 and 11 and also at AS and A2 level. ICT is used throughout the school in all subjects and is also a popular subject in its own right.
