Information & Communication Technology (ICT)

ICT Policy

The surge in Information Technology has had major global ramifications, therefore to ensure that our learners are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead, importance is placed on technology and the development of life skills in preparation for our changing world.  Society is progressing from the “Information Age” where information quantity was power to the “Knowledge Age” where information-processing skills (research, abstraction, processing and synthesis) are required to sift through the vast amounts of information now available to us through the Internet, books and media.  To this end, each Fortis school aspired to be on the leading edge in technological facilities and international certifications providing training that is both current and globally recognised.  We achieve this by providing state-of-the-art technological facilities to our staff and students. 

Objectives of ICT Curriculum:

• To develop capability, knowledge and understanding of ICT and computers as well as use them for practical application in their work.
• Skills to work with both the hardware and software
• To use IT for problem solving, communication, and recording across all their work. 

The ICT curriculum follows the National Curriculum for England, with the schemes of work following the QCA schemes that are set by the Department for Education and Skills.
