I.C.T.

Welcome to Palatine Sports College ICT department.

Information and communication technologies are now a crucial part of modern life. The ICT department aims to prepare students for a technological world in which ICT touches every part of their daily lives. The ICT department is always prepared to take on new initatives as we believe that pupils deserve to be exposed to the latest technology in order to prepare them for the outside world.

Palatine Sports College provides a varied and challenging ICT curriculum to develop practical ICT skills and promote knowledge and understanding of ICT systems.

ICT is used throughout the school both in teaching and learning, all classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards.The school has six dedicated ICT suites. ICT suites are always being used, either for ICT lessons, or where other subjects book the ICT suites so that they can use our excellent facilities too. The school also has laptop trolleys that are used in faculties to enhance the use of ICT across the curriculum. 

Extra Curricular

All courses are extended by additional projects. This includes Summer School activities, Gifted and Talented workshops and The Times Newspaper Day national competition. The ICT department also run an animation club and this year we were successful in coming second in the Blackpool Animation Awards. 

We also run lunchtime and after school clubs for students who wish to further their ICT knowledge and experiences and around exam time, we run coursework clinics and revision classes, all extra to the normal timetable! We also run an ICT Student Council where pupils are invited to have their say.

Animation Club is every Thursday afterschool with Dr Iqbal in IT4.
