Moodle
Moodle is our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) it allows resources, instructions and assessments
to be shown on line. It is accessible from any computer with an internet connection. This is useful is
many ways, during absence it is possible to get access to all learning materials, so time can be spent
productively.
Each pupil has an email address and password to gain access to the VLE, they can then use all of the
material provided, parents can see what their daughters are doing in class and blogs can be shared
with the school community (no exterior access is permitted) or kept private to the author.
A range of media is used by subjects to engage learners: video, podcasts, quizzes and surveys, more
are being introduced as we improve our system.
E-safety
As a school we take e-safety very seriously. We have a CEOP Ambassador who builds the e-safe
message into every Opening Minds module. Assemblies on the subject are regular events and we
always observe Internet Safety Week.
We make every effort to warn your daughter about the possible dangers of the internet and
electronic communication. Making each pupil a sensible, mature and knowledgeable user of
Information Technology is one of the main objectives of our curriculum.
