"Media arts status means that Technology lessons use new, exciting and more inclusive methods of documenting student progress. Product analysis comes to life when students use digital cameras to document disassembly, Students whose language needs meant that before they couldn't record their achievements now have the chance to compete and even outstrip the work of even the most able.

In the fast changing information age, bringing technology up to date is essential for the future of our young people. Continued investment in the media arts will ensure future generations of students at Abbeydale have the skills to present their achievements in a consistently high-quality way over a range of formats."
