ICT Hub
St John the Baptist's College is an Capita ICT Excellence Award winning school and ICT is embedded into the everyday life of our school. We believe in preparing your child for the working world of the future which will be very ICT focused so it is essential that our pupils get the best grounding in the skills they will need to help them in their future employment. We use Google Classroom as our main virtual learning platform along with a variety of apps to ensure pupils have easy access to all of their notes and work no matter what device they are using. Our homework diary app, Satchel One, is where all homeowrork is recorded and reminders about events aare posted.
This page contains helpsheets and videos to allow parents and new and potential pupils to familarise themselves with the technologies they will be using on a daily basis.
