In
this unit pupils learn about control technology through
modelling the working of a car park barrier. Pupils
program a simple cause and effect model, eg pressing
an input switch that produces an output, such as sounding
an alarm , and develop their knowledge and understanding
of control devices by solving a problem using procedures
as building blocks. They refine instructions and learn
how the order in which instructions are given will be
critical to the success of the project. It is important
that during this unit pupils use a structured approach
to solving this type of problem.
The idea that a counter is used as a control mechanism
is important, because it has many applications to
everyday life. Pupils also develop their understanding
of how criteria are used to make judgements about
the success of their projects and areas of development.
This unit is expected to take approximately 5 hours.

Introduction
At Hornsea School & Sixth Form Centre, ICT is becoming
an essential tool for students in all areas of their
studies. From year 7 through to the Sixth Form there
is growing evidence of the developing integration of
ICT into our curriculum. There are a number of factors
that need to be managed to help achieve our goal of
a well-mapped, complete integration of ICT into our
curriculum. These factors include:
1. Providing training for staff
2. Supporting staff as they endeavour to become more
confident, competent users of ICT tools and resources
3. Facilitating the exchange of ideas between staff
4. Developing a reliable, scalable, secure, school-wide
network
5. Ensuring that access to equipment is as easy as
possible
6. Ensuring that the equipment is in good working
order.
7. Providing a good foundation course in ICT for the
students in Key Stage3.
8. Encouraging students to explore the possibilities
of using ICT outside timetabled lessons.
The aim of this site
is to provide an insight into the areas of our curriculum
where ICT is being used. It is anticipated that the
details described will need updating on a regular basis
reflecting the fluid nature of the use of ICT across
the subjects.
The School Mission
Statement
To create a caring environment in which students, staff
and parents work together to enable students of all
abilities reach their maximum potential and develop
self-esteem, confidence and maturity.
