ICT & Business ICT, Computer Science & Business Studies We said goodbye to our Year 11 students after they had completed their exams in May. Mrs Moussa had a special treat for them and we wish them all the best of luck for their future.

ICT Creative iMedia – KS4 As part of iMedia, students undertook two controlled assessments covering different topics within IT. Year 10 have just sat their mock exam and have been working through their second controlled assessment, which is to produce an interactive website aimed at promoting the local area to tourists, documenting the techniques and assets that they used. They will be completing this assessment on websites when they return in September. Year 9 have been spending time on a selection of mini projects testing their digital editing skills ensuring they cover the key skills to prepare them for the first controlled assessment process in Year 10. Congratulations to Dagmara & Sahar (Year 10) and Daniel & Sophie (Year 9) for being the stars of the year!

Computer Science – KS4 Year 10 have just completed their mock exam and we concentrated on unit 2 algorithms and programming. We are moving back to unit 1 for the remainder of this term to be ready for the next set of mocks in November. Year 9 started practising their skills in programming using Python, the NEA project is no longer required to be submitted to the exam board, but students still need to make up 20 hours of coding and we have already been working towards completing this. Congratulations to Olly and Katie (Year 10) and Ezra and Dan (Year 9) for being the stars of the year!

ICT – KS3 Both Years 7 and 8 have been studying computer science topics like coding and algorithms. These topics will equip our students with the knowledge of computing and prepare them for their GCSE options in computer science and ICT courses. Congratulations to Josh & Umar (Year 8) and Cliff & Zaine (Year 7) for being the stars of the year!
