In Drumhillery Primary School, we recognise the society in which our children are growing up in, is continually changing.  New technologies are being developed at an increasing rate.  It is our desire and aim that all pupils at Drumhillery Primary School will develop competence in the use of ICT.

Along with Communication and Using Mathematics, Using ICT is one of the three statutory Cross-Curricular Skills that form part of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.

Using ICT is about providing pupils with opportunities to acquire, develop, understand, demonstrate and apply ICT concepts and processes appropriately in a variety of contexts across the curriculum.

The curriculum requirements for Using ICT which are covered in Drumhillery come under the following headings and are described as the 5 E’s.

Our desire at Drumhillery Primary School is to promote ICT to the best of our ability.  We do this through daily use and set tasks completed each year as part of a 3 year cycle.  These tasks cover a range of skills from Desktop Publishing to Interactive Design, Managing Data to Film and Animation.

We provide our pupils with as many opportunities as possible to ensure they are equipped for the digital world ahead.
