A large number of students complete work experience placements each year, and many follow a college course for half a day each week. Click here to see Work Experience or Residentials. Qualifications Students in F.E. follow modular courses appropriate to their abilities. Other Students take RSA modules in Numeracy, ICT and Communication Skills, and these are also accredited by certificates for whichever modules the individual student is able to achieve. Old Park is also a 'Compact' school and FE students may achieve Compact certificates.
Every class now has a Networked PC and access to a scanner, digital camera and choice of printers.
We also have video conferencing facilities. Younger pupils have access to a touch screen and roller ball if they find the mouse difficult to control. Pupils throughout the school are highly motivated by the use of computers and readily learn the skills required for their operation. Literacy Hour Pupils in Key Stages 1 and 2 take part in the Literacy Hour to enhance their reading and language development. They enjoy stories and can base their language work and reading and writing activities on the weeks' book.
