The school has been networked using fibre-optic cable to provide one gigabit connections, this enables any computer to transfer data around the network very quickly.

The school has modern dedicated servers and 14 networked rooms.

Individual rooms have their own projector and computer. Some subjects have their own small networked computer areas.

Staff and students can print to a variety of printers including photocopiers.

In order to serve the needs of the students and staff we have over 700 modern working computers which are upgraded on a regular rolling program.

All computers can access the internet.

We have a separate system to limit the inappropriate use of the internet.

We also have a business class wireless system which is used by staff for their work and registrations on individual laptops.

The school is investing considerable funding in ICT over the next 3 years.

Ongoing developments include a system called Kaleidos which will enable staff to generate work / homework for the students which the students will be able to access in school and at home.

We are also developing a portal system which will enable parents to securely access appropriate information from home and enable the students to access their work from home.

At the moment we are developing a new electronic registration system which will also enable us to send emails and text messages to parents about attendance etc.

Old working computers have been sent to charities and abroad.

Non working computers are usually repaired or their parts recycled.

An email system is used to reduce the use of paper for messages around the school.
