We recognise that Computing is an important facilitating subject for all areas of the curriculum, and we aim to have an integrated approach throughout the School. To support this, Year 7 pupils also have one computing lesson each week to ensure that they know how to make the most of their Chromebook.
G Suite is our most important resource, which includes school email, word processing, presentations, sites and forms. For e-safety, we link to Internet sources in conjunction with the Life Skills programme. Other materials are unique and produced here at Farlington.
