BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
Our aim is to have all Year 9 students with a device by the start of Term 2 this year.
Why are we doing this? “We want to enhance lessons to make great learning even greater with a blending of digital with long-valued teaching and learning techniques. We believe that an internet capable device is now an important part of a boy’s modern learning toolkit. It gives them instant access to unlimited resources and enables them to support, extend, communicate and share their learning in ways that prepares them for the future.”
Currently we have over 75 Year 9 boys indicating they have a device they can bring to school.
All Year 9 students have had an IT induction programme in their first week and Mr Burke (IT support) is visiting English classes supporting their connection to the school system.
Mr Burke is providing IT support for any student in the second half of lunchtime each day.
