Pupils at Oughtibridge Primary School use ICT as an integral part of the wider curriculum. Children are taught ICT capabilities in weekly skills based sessions, and are then encouraged to use those skills to develop knowledge and understanding in all curricular subjects. Pupils can be found creating power point presentations in topic sessions, creating short animated films in Literacy lessons and using graphing software to enhance understanding of data handling in Maths.
We are very proud of our ICT facilities at Oughtibridge Primary School. We have a computer suite which has 16 networked computers, equipped with a wide range of software and Broadband Internet access, allowing teaching across all subjects. We also have networked computers in all classrooms, and 6 computers in an ICT work area for small group work.
We have interactive whiteboards and projectors in all classrooms and the ICT suite which provide an excellent visual and hands-on learning aid. As well as TV and video equipment the school have a computer microscope, several digital cameras and digital camcorders. We have recently purchased a set of digital blue cameras and software and have a class set of laptops with wireless internet access which children can use to further support their learning in all subjects.
Throughout the year children at Oughtibridge Primary School are provided with opportunities to work with specialist staff at the City Learning Centre. Events have included Y3/4 animation workshops, a Gifted and Talented Day for some of the children in Year 2 and workshops to promote learning through gaming to name but a few. We also have strong links with Bradfield School and the Y6 children have been involved in using ICT as part of a transition project with children in Year 7.
