LAPTOPS, iPads, and interactive TVs are all driving digital learning at IPACA’s new Osprey Quay facility.

The new school opened this academic year and houses students up to Year Three as well as all ages in the new design and technology suite.

Dorset Echo editor Toby Granville was invited to look around the new facility by IPACA principal Alison Appleyard.

The classrooms have been fitted out in an open plan style split up into different areas by the furniture.

Each has iPads and laptops.

The classrooms have pastel colour schemes and there are magnetic wipe-clean boards for the students to write and draw on.

Students can create ideas and display them for the class to see on the interactive TVs.

Director of entrepreneurship, Gary Fooks, said it was about preparing youngsters with the skills for the future.

He said: “What we want is for every learner that comes to IPACA to really develop entrepreneurial skills.”

Mrs Appleyard said the response from the parents and learners had been really good to the new campus.
