Technology

The Crypt School uses a wide range of Technology across the student body.

Our aim is to enhance all students’ learning experience, prepare them thoroughly for their exams and for their future lives in an economy driven and transformed through the use of technology.

The majority of students buy into the schools one-to-one device policy purchasing an iPad in Year 7 to support their learning through the rest of their school career. This iPad enables students to access their learning at home and in the classroom on an individual and independent basis. The Crypt School is a Google for Education school. Classwork, homework and additional support work is set through Google Classroom, allowing students to
have synchronous and asynchronous access to the resources made available to them by their teachers.

We have an in-house Google Certified Trainer. Our trainer is in place to empower our teachers to learn and use Google Workspace products to make their classrooms more efficient and improve student outcomes. They have regular training and support from Google so The Crypt School remains at the fore-front of changes in this area.

In Year 7 and 8 we run a bespoke Computer Science course ensuring pupils understand how to use technology, and also the responsibilities that come with use of technology in modern society. In Year 9 pupils all work towards
achieving their Entry Level Computer Science qualification. We offer both GCSE and A-level Computer Science and uptake is very strong. For more information please visit the academic pages for Computer Science.

Due to the range of technology we use, our students will leave The Crypt School with a solid grounding enabling them to flourish in any future environment.

We are delighted to announce that more recently our school has been awarded CyberFirst Silver status in recognition of our commitment to delivering high-quality computing and cybersecurity education. This achievement reflects the dedication of our staff and students in developing digital skills, promoting cyber awareness, and inspiring the next generation of technology professionals. We are proud to be part of the CyberFirst programme and look forward to continuing to strengthen our cybersecurity provision and opportunities for all learners.
