Suggested Software
To allow pupils to practise at home and develop the skills we are teaching in the lesson, we try to always use free software. Here is a list of software that we currently recommend you to download or create an account for, to support what we are teaching in the classroom.
You can also access this software via the home access link on our home page or by clicking here..
Some of these products are device specific. Please do not buy extra devices to obtain these products as there are many alternatives for each device type. Using different software and device types aids the transfer of skills and adaptability to new software.
We constantly update the software and skills we are teaching, to support a modern curriculum and work place. As a result this list is subject to change.
