ICT at Thornhill College

ICT is an integral part of the curriculum at Thornhill College and involves all pupils and teachers.

We recognise that all pupils have an ICT entitlement and a right to be confident users of modern technology.  This will enable full participation in school and community life and provide them with the necessary skills for college and university.

Our ICT curriculum is continually reviewed so that it reflects all the main current developments including new teaching and learning approaches and new assessment opportunities.

Through challenging pupil-centred activities, collaborative learning, and innovative use of ICT we hope to inspire our students to be creative, responsible and effective users of technology.
