| Every pupil who leaves Chapter House will have impressive
IT skills, to enter a world which is demanding a higher
and higher level of computer literacy.
We have invested in the latest technology with fast
Pentium computers in our very large multi-media network
and in stand-alones throughout our academic departments.
Our large, new air-conditioned IT department is shared
with Queen Ethelburga’s.
In IT classes every pupil has the benefit of an individual
computer for their sole use.
In some departments, and in the reference rooms, pupils
can access the Internet under supervision as well as
using the quality information on CD rom.
We have an IT Head of Department who assesses the needs
of individuals and plans courses.
Our pupils can become confident in the use of modern
software, including the latest word processing, spreadsheet
and database, publishing and drawing packages, presentation
software and all the skills necessary to provide coursework
in all subjects to the highest standard.
All day pupils may pay to have the loan of a powerful
multi-media computer to use at home, with connectability
to the school network while they do their homework. |
New for 2003/4
We have installed a state-of-the-art satellite internet
connection with both uplink and downlink ability.
This substantially speeds up our Internet connections
when large numbers of pupils are accessing at the
same time. |
