ICT - GCSE PDF 

ICT surrounds every single one of us, whether we are young or old, male or female, able bodied or disabled. We are already expert users of Information Technologies, many of which are integrated into our daily lives…. computers, ATMs, mobile phones, the Internet...  St. Patrick’s aims give students a sound knowledge base of ICT fundamentals, and the skills to apply them in life. We have a programme of study for GCSE, that builds upon KS3 success and prepares individual students for either further study at A'Level, or employment.
