STUDENTS at King James’s School in Almondbury are at the forefront of using information and communications technology (ICT) to enhance their work.

The school has been awarded the prestigious ICT Mark by Becta, the government-funded body responsible for promoting the use of ICT in schools and colleges.

It recognises the school’s success in developing the strategic use of ICT in both administration and across the curriculum.

Head teacher Robert Lamb said: “It recognises our positive approach to ICT and the benefits it is bringing to our students.

“We believe that ICT can be used in every aspect of learning and that it is essential our students are equipped for the modern world.”
