To do this, the balance between skills and capability changes during Years 7, 8 and 9, so that by the end of Year 9 students are comfortable with all areas of ICT. At KS4 pupils can achieve grades ranging from a Pass to a Distinction in BTEC National. This course enables pupils to leave with either 2 or 4 GCSE equivalent grades. The department also runs the Diploma Level 2 in IT. This two year course combines seven units of work with functional skills, a project and work experience to give students an insight into the real-world of IT in business. In 6th form pupils can choose either BTEC Level 3 or Media Productions. Media Productions takes an in-depth look at the media industry. Pupils look at a number of units such as Photography, Advertising, Research in the Media Industries, Pre-Production Skills, Film Studies and Understanding Television. The BTEC Level 3 units consist of networking, building a website, e-commerce, understanding computer hardware, communication and employability skills for ICT and the impact of the use of IT on business systems. All pupils will have access to the school V/PLE where teachers are in the process of uploading coursework, homework and web links for pupils to access at home. This is a committed department who make education fun and achievable for all pupils.
