OCR CLAIT

At Killicomaine JHS we believe it is never too early to get a few qualifications.

Our Year 10 pupils get a chance to do the OCR CLAIT Stage 1 exam.
:: :: ::
CLAIT stands for Computer Literacy and Information Technology.

This gives every pupil a chance to achieve a recognised IT qualification before leaving our school.

Killicomaine is an OCR approved centre.
:: :: ::
The school is authorised to offer specified OCR qualifications.

The aim of this award is to assess the pupils' ability to use a range of computer applications effectively.
:: :: ::
Pupils study word processing, database and spreadsheet applications.

Pupils gain experience working with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.

Within each application area, exam candidates are required to enter and manipulate data to a specified degree of accuracy.
:: :: ::
They are required to edit, save and print data according to specifications.

This is an excellent and widely recognised qualification, which will be useful for our pupils when they enter employment.

We have a 90% pass rate.
:: :: ::
That means 90% of pupils leave our school (at age 13-14) already having achieved a commercially recognised IT qualification.
