Learning Technologies

Technology use is at the forefront of life at Sarum Hall School.  We approach technology in a balanced and holistic way.

Pupils across the School take part in structured computing and ICT lessons, where they develop the skills needed not only to understand modern technology but to enjoy using it. Our ICT provision helps prepare them for the wider world, introducing them to coding, augmented reality, green screen technology, and robotics, alongside key curriculum areas such as touch typing. ICT is also increasingly embedded across other subjects – from maths to music – to support and enhance learning throughout the curriculum.

Rather than the traditional computer suite with banks of desktops, our computing suite is a contemporary and flexible learning space. The environment fuses the lastest mobile technologies with the innate ability of all children to be creative. There is no fixed furniture; everything is mobile. It’s a space in which the pupils take ownership of their learning. From Year 2 onwards, each pupil is issued with their own iPad to support them with their learning.

The school uses G-Suite tools including Google Classroom as well as other online educational tools, such as Purple Mash and Seesaw, to enrich the curriculum and enhance the pupils’ learning experience.  Preparing our pupils for the future of education, the workplace and the world in general, is key to our curriculum. This is accomplished through gaining experience of collaborative working, understanding how to use a range of different technologies, of course, how to be safe online.

Coding and Robotics

Coding and Robotics

Through hands-on programming and building, pupils develop logical thinking and persistence. From block coding to controlling physical robots, these lessons give them the confidence to explore how technology works in the real world. As they progress, pupils move from simple commands to building interactive systems, fostering independence and innovation.

3D Design and Modelling

3D Design and Modelling

Pupils explore the world of 3D design by creating digital models using intuitive software. They learn spatial awareness, problem-solving, and how to bring their ideas to life – skills that link closely to design technology and computing. Projects may tie in with topics like architecture or product design, helping pupils see the creative possibilities of technology.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality

Using tablets and AR apps, pupils blend the digital and physical worlds. They bring their projects to life – whether it’s exploring the solar system in science or designing interactive posters – making learning more hands-on and memorable. AR opens up access to visual and immersive learning that goes far beyond traditional textbook resources.

Using and Understanding Digital Systems

Using and Understanding Digital Systems

Lessons focus on essential skills such as using researching safely, saving work to the cloud, and navigating online tools. Pupils gain confidence in using technology independently and responsibly in everyday situations. This foundation supports their learning across all subjects and prepares them for future study and digital life. They also begin to understand how computers and networks function – from how data travels to how devices connect and communicate – laying the groundwork for digital literacy.

Green Screen Filming

Green Screen Filming

Pupils step in front of the camera to record topic-based presentations and news reports. Green screen technology allows them to appear in any setting, from historical landmarks to imaginary worlds, enhancing both performance and digital editing skills. It also builds pupils’ confidence in public speaking, collaboration, and media literacy.

Creating Media

Creating Media

Pupils learn how to plan, create, and evaluate a range of digital content – from posters and presentations to audio recordings and short videos. These projects help them understand how media shapes communication and influence. By exploring design choices like layout, colour, and audience, pupils develop both technical and critical thinking skills.

“Why did we choose Sarum Hall? Its reputation and our observations on the school’s value system and pastoral care, and how they raise the girls in addition to educating them. Also their commitment to music, the arts and extra-curricular activities.”
