IT
IT is a subject that is constantly changing and this is no exception at LRGS. Pupils access resources, submit assignments, have them marked, contribute to topic discussions via wikis and are tested with quizzes all via the school VLE.
The qualifications offered reflect the needs of boys in a Technology School. The British Computer Society's ECDL qualification is taken by all boys in the Lower School years. This provides a useful and practical qualification that is recognised world wide.
