ICT is more than just another teaching tool within the school; it has the potential to enrich the girls' education across the curriculum. There is an increasingly wide range of facilities and equipment available for the pupils to use and enhance their learning at WGHS.

We have 3 suites of computers, including one in the language college where video conferencing facilities are available, which are networked centrally as well as clusters of machines in maths, science, history, food, music and resistant materials technology. There are 16 interactive whiteboards in classrooms throughout the school.
 

One suite is a dedicated room for discrete ICT lessons and has 29 computers allowing every girl in the teaching group individual access. Another is part of the language college and again has 29 computers. There is lunchtime and after school supervision available to enable the girls to complete homework. We make every effort to ensure that girls without computer access at home are not disadvantaged. Girls are taught to become independent and discerning users of ICT, who will have the confidence to adapt to any system they may be faced with at university and in future employment.
 

A dedicated ICT suite Comments from Lower School Pupils about ICT   "The work is hard but I have learnt a lot of new skills which I can use in the future." " I have learned many new life skills already!" "An enjoyable course that teaches us how to use the computer to the best effect. A good use of the computer!" "I'm always on the computer anyway so this stops Mum and Dad from moaning at me. I'm doing something useful!" "The work can be hard but it should be worth it in the end."
