High-quality computing education equips pupils with the skills to develop logical thinking and creativity in order to support their learning in an ever-changing digital environment.
The use of ICT in society expands at an ever-increasing pace and it is an essential part of everyday life for the staff and pupils alike at Blundell’s Prep. We offer a curriculum that matches the needs of society today, with pupils having access to a wide range of facilities, including desktop PCs, laptops and iPads. From Year 3 onwards, discrete Computing lessons are taught each week by a subject specialist teacher – but use of technology is modelled by all teachers on a daily basis, and its use by children is encouraged across all year groups and in all curriculum areas.

Blundell’s School pupils have achieved the school’s highest ever GCSE results, for exams taken under standard conditions.
This extraordinary achievement reflects the unwavering dedication and effort our pupils have poured into their studies.
