KS3

From Year 7 to Year 8, students are going through a series of mini-projects to learn the skills and develop capabilities when using ICT. Students are building along with their knowledge an electronic portfolio to store evidence of their achievements.

Students are taught how to handle files and folders, how to select relevant and meaningful information to relay a targeted audience, how to use formulae on a spreadsheet and create a graph, how to use and set up a computer model, how to handle data, how to use blogs and wikis, how to create a podcast and how to create a basic website.

Year 9 are taught to prepare Functional Skills in ICT at a level matching their abilities.

KS4

If they did not pass it yet, students are preparing Functional Skills in ICT at a level that matches their achievements.

They either opt for a vocational pathway taking OCR National at level 1/2 or for an academic pathway taking GCSE in ICT

OCR Nationals is a set of units students will go through to produce evidence of their understanding.

The current GCSE is under review. It will be completed over two years. Four pieces of coursework have to be completed, database and spreadsheet being the compulsory ones. Coursework is 60% of the grades. The final exam is 40% of the grades.

POST16

We are currently offering three different courses at Harris Academy at Peckham.

• GCE AS and A2 in ICT – academic
• BTEC Nationals level 3 - vocational
• CISCO - vocational
• OCR National level 2 - vocational
