OUR INVESTMENT IN THE LATEST APPLE TECHNOLOGY HAS CREATED A LEARNING SYSTEM THAT BUILDS STUDENTS’ INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS AND CREATIVE THINKING, THERE ARE NO LIMITS WHEN USING MOBILE DEVICES FOR LEARNING

Our investment in the latest Apple technology has created a learning system that builds students’ investigative skills and creative thinking. At Brompton Academy we have harnessed world class new and emerging Apple educational programmes and technologies, and we have literally placed the iPad into the hands of our students to empower them as learners; to give them the ability and capability to answer questions and find out information that their curious minds seek. Learning becomes limitless, boundless and atmospheric, as the iPad enables the absorption of knowledge across many different levels of interactive experiences. Students with a flair for artistic design and media creativity can enjoy the multitude of benefits born in the plentiful iMac suites. Radio and television production coupled with the inspiration of specialist music technology ensures the arts is multi-dimensional. Our new design and technology suites use the latest high specification 3D printers and technology. Our Fitness Studio is designed so students can engage in different types of fitness during PE lessons and out of hours activities. The Fitness Studio includes specialist equipment which supports cardiovascular endurance, strength training, muscular endurance and flexibility training.

Languages have been lifted from the traditional constraints of the text book, and given new life through the diversity of educational apps – making an oral language lesson a fun interactive cultural experience. Advanced specification Science laboratories with cutting edge technologies and specialist resources, are the basis for an investigative scientific approach to research and experimentation. A purpose built Science lecture theatre with wipe clean coated wall spaces allow walls to be used as a canvas to explore concepts and share ideas in a highly creative way. We have been thoughtful and experimental in choosing how we can enhance our students’ learning through new and emerging technologies. Lessons can be shared via live film links and Apple TV's that allow the iPad to work in different ways. This encourages our students to share their findings and work in collaboration with each other. Learning becomes collective, but also enhances the individual study skills of our students. The classroom is a forum for educational discovery, and the home is an extension as our students take their mobile devices home each day to extend their learning experiences.
