Leaders in Learning with ICT...
Whilst Farsley Farfield is a traditional school in many of its
values, it is very much ‘cutting edge’ in terms of some of its
teaching styles.
We have Interactive Whiteboard technology in every teaching space in the
school from Reception classes onwards. Our school intranet and super-fast
STAR network connection to the internet combine to make the the latest
multimedia resources available to all our teachers and learners. We digitise
all educational TV programmes, and these are available in complete or
extract form in every classroom.
We have recently opened
a large new ICT suite with
30 computers. We also have
smaller ICT clusters in the
North dining room and South
foyer. Children in Year 6 are
taught by a specialist ICT
teachers as they work on
spreadsheets, databases and multimedia presentations including animation.
Children in the Juniors have an additional one hour ‘Computer-aided
learning’ session each week to promote personalised, more independent
learning.
Farfield Online...
We have a very active school web site that can be accessed at
www.farsleyfarfield.leeds.sch.uk
Our aim is have all the school’s important information easily accessible,
e.g. newsletters, term dates and holiday request forms. We also use the web
site as a link with parents through photo galleries, videos and audio files. If
your child goes on a trip or is involved in a special activity, you can share
this experience with them by watching it online together!
