ICT and Computing

At Smithdon all pupils study ICT/Computing at Key Stage 3, where we cover a comprehensive range of topic areas. The ICT curriculum covers three main strands:

1. Digital Literacy

2. ICT

3. Computer Science

Within the Technology rotation throughout Key Stage 3, students complete ICT/computing projects covering the three main strands mentioned above. Within these units we have placed an emphasis on developing transferable ICT knowledge, understanding and skills. During Year 9 for the final rotation there is an extended project to consolidate skills for those not wishing to study ICT at GCSE.

Smithdon currently offers Creative iMedia at GCSE - please see KS4 page for further details.
