Information Technology and Computing is one of the fastest growing, sustainable sectors of the economy. At Ilford County High, we aim to enable our students to capitalise on this growth and to develop a love for computing, programming and network concepts. Ofsted report: Provision for ICT is good. 'Results in the A2 Level and AS examinations are above national standards, with AS last year improving over the previous year. Students' coursework shows a high level of knowledge, understanding and reasoning that students apply successfully to the problems they have selected.' 'Teachers are well organised and knowledgeable about both the subject and the course requirements. They enjoy good access to high quality equipment that has been brought about by the school's investment in computers.' Department description: The Computing and ICT courses offered give an important insight into the practical applications of computer skills, with great emphasis placed on practical demonstration of theoretical work done. The ICT department is staffed by specialist teachers and has a full-time technician. At GCSE level, we explore networking and systems development. Coursework forms an integral part of the course. At A Level, the syllabus for Computing covers programming, network concepts and systems development. ICT follows a similar syllabus to GCSE, but expands on conceptual understanding and is examined far more rigorously. Teachers come with a range of industrial and teaching experience and are well positioned to aid students. All the courses are highly enjoyable.
