Every pupil who leaves Chapter House will have impressive IT skills, to enter a world which is demanding a higher and higher level of computer literacy. We have invested in the latest technology with fast Pentium computers in our very large multi-media network and in stand-alones throughout our academic departments.

Our large, new air-conditioned ICT department is shared with Queen Ethelburga’s. In ICT classes every pupil has the benefit of an individual computer for their sole use.

In some departments, and in the reference rooms, pupils can access the Internet under supervision as well as using the quality information on CD rom. We have an ICT Head of Department who assesses the needs of individuals and plans courses.

Our pupils can become confident in the use of modern software, including the latest word processing, spreadsheet and database, publishing and drawing packages, presentation software and all the skills necessary to provide coursework in all subjects to the highest standard.

We have installed a state-of-the-art satellite internet connection with both uplink and downlink ability. This substantially speeds up our Internet connections when large numbers of pupils are accessing at the same time.
