Information and communication technology lies at the heart
of the College’s approach to teaching and learning. The entire
campus is connected by a high-speed fibre-optic network,
and pupils are encouraged to bring in laptop computers to
connect to it and make use of the extensive facilities
provided. These include laser-quality full-colour printing,
network scanning, high-speed filtered internet access and email,
as well as access to a wide range of software and other
specialist resources. Teaching rooms are equipped with the
latest classroom technologies, including electronic
whiteboards, wireless networking and data projectors, to
ensure that teaching blends the best of the old and the new.
Six ICT suites, including a state-of-the-art digital language
laboratory, allow pupils access to state-of-the-art systems
throughout the whole school day, and computers are available
in Houses and in the Cavendish Learning Resources Centre in
the evening. Pupils who bring their own laptops into school
have full access to the network and its resources through them
and many pupils take advantage of this.
