Learning Resources
At Streetly, we have an extensive range of ICT resources for students to use, both in the ICT rooms where ICT lessons are held, and across the school. The school is also investing a significant amount into expanding its ICT facilities with three new computer suites, wireless networking and a new VLE so students can access resources and hand in work on-line. It’s an exciting time!
