KS4 ICT
The Cambridge Nationals iMedia Level 2 qualification will assess the application of creative media skills through their practical use.
Hailey Hall School will provide learners with essential knowledge, transferable skills and tools to improve their learning in other subjects with the aims of enhancing their employability when they leave education, contributing to their personal development and future economic well-being. The qualifications will encourage independence, creativity and awareness of the digital media sector.
The ‘hands on’ approach that will be required for both teaching and learning has strong relevance to the way young people use the technology required in creative media. It will underpin a highly valid approach to the assessment of their skills as is borne out by what teachers tell us. The qualification design, including the range of units available, will allow learners the freedom to explore the areas of creative media that interest them as well as providing good opportunities to enhance their learning in a range of curriculum areas.
Why this subject is important:
- Confident, creative and productive use of ICT is an essential skill for life
- ICT skills are essential in order to gain employment in modern society
- ICT gives access to ideas and experiences from a wide range of people, communities and cultures, and allows you to work together and share information across the world.
