A SCHOOL in WGC has been awarded the prestigious ICT Mark.

The award recognises Springmead Primary School’s success in developing the strategic use of information communication technology in both administration and across the curriculum.

Headteacher Judith Sumner said the school, in Hilly Fields, was delighted to receive the honour, which followed an extensive assessment.

She said: “It recognises our positive approach to ICT and the benefits it is bringing to our children.

“We believe ICT can be used in every aspect of learning, provided that safety rules are observed, and that it is essential our children are equipped for the modern world.”
