Smart TAGS

Designed to remove cash from the school meals process:-

Pupils and Staff are issued with an 'Electronic Tag' which can be credited before buying food.

It has advantages for parents, who can get a print-out of what the credited amount has been spent on.

If pupils lose their Tags they can purchase a new Tag from staff at the canteen.
Any lost Tags can be 'hot-listed’ to prevent fraudulent use.

We have installed an electronic registration system which also enables us to send emails and text messages to parents about attendance etc.

At the moment we are investigating
the possiblity of using Netbooks in the classroom and also considering installing wireless hotspot technology to enable students and teachers to have filtered access to the internet.

We have recently been installing several interactive whiteboards in appropriate subjects.

We are now in the process of replacing / extending our fibre optic network to Design & Technology and Music as part of ongoing refurbishment.

Old working computers are sent to charities and abroad to help 3rd world Countries.

Non working computers are usually repaired or their parts recycled.
An email system is used to reduce the use of paper for messages around the school.
