NGHS Juniors continues to be at the forefront of classroom technology, having been an early adopter of iPads in lessons and quickly earning Apple Distinguished School accreditation.

      Our first Google Chromebooks arrived this week and are already proving to be a hit with girls in Year 6.  This marks an important development and investment in our IT provision, equipping older pupils for Senior School and widening their expertise with different devices and operating systems.

      Managing  electronic devices on such a vast scale - and with such a wide range of users - is no mean feat.  We are very lucky to have a fabulous support team on hand every day to help teachers and students alike, and to benefit from the investment afforded by being part of the GDST family of schools.

      Year 5 used one of the world's oldest photographic printing processes in their art lessons this week - cyanotype printing, which involves using paper coated with chemicals sensitive to ultraviolet light and sunlight.  In creating some beautiful representations of flowers and leaves, the girls also learnt how a chemical reaction can form a new material.  Art and science, all  in one lesson - well done, girls!  🎨 🧪
