Background

At Sir Wilfrid Martineau School we run two separate curriculum networks. In our Upper School we have a 25 station Novell network which serves mainly Humanities, Languages and Information Technology subjects. Our students use mainly Microsoft Works, Pagemaker Classic and a range of subject specific software. All students have access to multimedia computers, a flatbed scanner and a digital camera. Our internet connection is through Research Machines IfL.

In Lower School we have a 15 station Novell network which serves mainly Mathematics and Information Technology. We have an old 10 station Nimbus network in the Maths area.

Developments

By September 1997 we are planning to upgrade our Upper School network to include the library. We are installing 6 new networked computers for general use and to run RM Success Maker. The English department is taking delivery of a new 10 station suite of networked computers.
