All students in NC Years 7 - 9 receive ICT training in
chunks of four 35 minute periods on a rotation out of their
normal timetable, and take the 7 ECDL online exam modules
at appropriate stages over the three years. This occurs
roughly every 4 weeks for years 7 and 8, and less frequently
for year 9.
The cost of online examining and marking is significant,
but parents seem happy to have the cost added to the fees,
seeing it as a very good opportunity to gain a valuable
business standard qualification, without it impinging on
GCSE options.
The timing of the sessions is published in the diary to
alert staff who usually teach the groups and, although this
causes complications to the few subjects that set in Years
8 and 9, we try to minimise the disruption by careful planning.
