British School of Amterdam

Each class has lessons in fully equipped ICT labs. Each child uses a variety of online and specific software through which he or she is taught skills including word-processing, communicating information through database and spreadsheet packages, multimedia applications, E-mail and Internet use. These skills are then transferred into the classroom, where children are encouraged to use ICT tools to enhance their work in other areas of the curriculum, for example research in history, using spreadsheets to solve Maths problems, presenting work in Literacy and making a database for a science topic. In Year Five and Six the children follow a scheme of work developed by Cambridge International Examinations Board. This assesses the children's capability across a range of applications including word processing, spreadsheets, image manipulation, databases, email and presentation. The children work at their own pace towards the Cambridge ICT Starters award (Next Steps), providing an excellent grounding for their work in key stage 3.
