What are the ICT Facilities like?

In comparison to most schools Shelley College has invested a lot of money in ICT facilities and teaching staff.

The facilties used by Post 16 Students for ICT lesson in D36 are very good. The room is smaller than most and has desks in the middle where design and development work, and discussion can take place.

The school has also invested a great deal of time and money into developing the Virtual Learning Environment and all Year 12 and Year 13 ICT courses involve a great deal of eLearning. This facility is available from outside school as well thus allowing students access to teaching materials 24-7-365. (If they wish ;-)
