A YORK special school has been given an award for its use of computers for learning.
Lidgett Grove School in Acomb is only the second special school in the country to win the award for creative use of ICT, and the first in the York area.
The school used digital video and photographs to support teaching and learning and to record pupil outcomes.
As a result of the award, the school has been approached by a company that has developed ICT software, with a view to trialling new resources to be released nationally.
York MP Hugh Bayley visited the school this week to learn more about the innovative work which has been shared throughout the LEA.
Mr Bayley said: "Lidgett Grove is leading the way for the creative use of information technology in special schools."
