"ICT was very successfully integrated into many lessons to support and enhance the teaching and learning experience. Examples included the effective use of visualizers and chrome-casting technology to display student work, and the sharing of content developed by students. SMT support for the successful and incremental introduction of ICT into the classroom is to be commended." Whole School Evaluation (WSE) by DES Inspectorate.
