About Us

IT Support is responsible for the maintenance, administration, and development of the school's computerised infrastructure. We also provide all IT related support services to staff and students. We are involved in the evaluation of new technology based systems to meet the needs of the school.

The school has the following IT facilities to offer staff and students:

• Seven IT computer suites across both sites for ICT, as well as classrooms equipped with PC’s for English, Maths, Science, Music, Art, Learning Support, and Technology.
• Chrome Book trolleys of laptops with wireless network connections in Business Studies and RSPHCE.

• All classrooms are provided with whiteboards and data projectors across the school sites.  There are also some Interactive Whiteboards.
• Multifunction Devices.

• Local Area Network 

All computers in the school are networked on a Microsoft Platform and are running Windows 7 with Microsoft Office 2016 installed. We also host a Cherwell Google Domain which gives staff and students access to Google Classroom, Google Drive and Gmail. There are many general purpose packages installed across the network, along with several other educational software titles.  Access to the network and various other systems is provided through individual usernames and passwords.

Internet

All computers have internet access provided through a fibre connection. The internet can be an unsafe environment for students to explore. We also take steps to prevent students from endangering themselves and others, using filtering to censor which sites the students can access. All staff and students are required to sign an Acceptable Use policy before they are allowed access to the school network, wireless and internet.
