Y1 ICT

Organisation of ICTin KS 1

ICT is taught once a week for one hour. Additional time is sometimes allocated when ICT is suitable in other curriculum areas. Teacher and support staff are currently looking to promote ICT within all subjects through the use of iPads, netbooks and laptops within the classroom to meet the changing needs of the children.

The class is taught as one and there is no ability groups. Often the year 1 class is divided into two, teaching each group of 15 individuallyfor 30 minutes.
