The IT & Business Faculty supports the Immanuel aims and objectives. We seek to create a learning environment in which all students can feel comfortable and develop the skills that enable them to achieve their full potential within our area but also across the whole curriculum.
Within our faculty it is the aim that all students will:
- Achieve their full potential, and succeed.
- Become confident and self-reliant in the use of ICT.
- Understand how ICT impacts upon our daily lives.
- Be able to discuss the moral and social effects and implication of ICT within a local, national and worldwide context.
- Understand the concepts and theory behind business operations and functions.
- Be able to actively apply their ICT skills to genuine business related problems.
- Use ICT skills to enhance and improve the work from other subject areas.

Our priority is to enable all students to realise and achieve their potential. With this in mind we have a dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant assigned full time to the department, and also a Learning Support Assistant working part time with our students. This means that we are able to give students on the Special Educational Needs Register the support that they require to fully participate in lessons, from entering the school in year 7 through to completing GCSEs in year 11.

Gifted & Talented Students within IT & Business
Students can sometimes display incredible potential and ability in the most unexpected of areas. Within the Faculty it is our aim to identify these students via assessment and monitoring, and provide a learning environment that encourages and nurtures these abilities; enabling students to fully recognise and achieve their potential by participating in enrichment projects that fully stretch their understanding and comprehension of the subject.
