Strength
At Eggbuckland we deliver our Key Stage 3 ICT in Years 7 and 8 through Art and Music. This enables staff to deliver ICT in the content of those subjects. For example in ICT/Music students will create a database based on composers and also use PowerPoint to create stories.
We have recently extended the scheme to allow the Maths department to deliver the spreadsheet component and even more recently experimented with some database related tasks through History.
Student follow a discreet course of ICT in Year9.
