Focus On Information Technology

 
 

 

 

It is essential to have a good grasp of the workings of modern technology. Wyke Regis Junior School is committed not just to teaching I.T. but using the latest technology in the classroom and throughout the curriculum.

Currently we have our very own dedicated Microsoft qualified technician running and upgrading our network. Ensuring the smooth running of the considerable IT infrastructure in the school as well as updating our Website and Intranet. We are exploring all avenues to provide the most up-to-date  and best value computer based learning. We have a wide variety of educational software, plus a wide variety of open source software to augment our network.

We currently have a dedicated suite of 33 computers, plus a computer in every class room. Every class room has a dedicated interactive Promethean white board and projector. This is backed up with a large repository of learning material both software and active lesson applets. Staff are constantly coming up with new material which is actively shared through our network

We make use of a php scripted Intranet portal which is constantly updated with information on what is happening through the school, good work, web based learning tools, galleries of good work and any activities going on in the school. We have moved our current website to an advanced server this year so we can model our main website on the one we currently use within the school.

Our current client server configuration within the school is well beyond the standard primary /junior school setup. Currently we have two domain controllers (servers). One which runs the network and one which helps and runs other server based applications. These include the latest version of Squid proxy server (speeds up our already fast internet connection), a Microsoft based intranet site with PHP scripting support, and the windows update service plus it acts as a back up if there is a problem with out main server.

Security and maximum up time is essential and as such we take the security of the network seriously. All computers are centrally updated through windows server update service which ensures that all machines in the school have the latest security updates installed on them within hours of the update being released by Microsoft. Our anti virus software is updated in a similar fashion.

We have recently completed a full upgrade of the network infrastructure and now use intelligent switches to run our network with a one Gigabit backbone. This has speeded up network and allows us far more flexibility in keeping the network working.
