One of our key developments is the adoption and use of wireless network portable technology such as laptops and touch screen devices across Bute. We provide class banks of Apple iPads and Chromebooks in each Year Group to enhance their learning.
The girls have been keen to embrace this technology and this helps them to realise that IT skills and knowledge can be applied outside a ‘traditional’ computer suite and across other subjects. We have also recently invested in touch screen laptops/tablets in our new Digital Learning Suite to further enhance the girls’ learning and experience.
The classrooms are equipped with wall-mounted interactive smart boards and the teachers use visualisers throughout their lessons. Pupils can proudly print their work on the network colour laser printers around the school. We also capture every girl’s educational journey on the range of digital cameras, camcorders and a selection of tablets.
In partnership with each year group, we have developed our digital curriculum to meet the demands of 21st century learning and to enhance their skills outside the discrete lessons. Pupils engage with resources such as Google for Education, BBC micro:bit technology, python coding, LEGO Spike and Prime, 3D designing and printing, and green-screen video production.
