Administration & IT
In Administration and IT provide we practical opportunities for Students to develop and apply their organisational and administrative skills. Students will continue to develop skills delivered in S1 to S3 broad General Education ICT courses, developing IT skills that enable them to use technologies as tools for carrying out organisational and administrative tasks.
ICT / Computing Science
Computer Science and ICT are rapidly developing areas of the curriculum, which is becoming an increasingly vital aspect of your child’s education. It is estimated that the top 10 highest paid jobs in the year 2025, have not yet been invented. It is with this in mind, that we have structured a curriculum of Computer Science / ICT that not only develops cutting edge skills in computer programming, computer architecture and digital literacy, but allows our pupils to develop their learning skills so that they become effective problem solvers who work independently with resilience and enthusiasm to creatively overcome all challenges.
A broad and balanced curriculum is what we provide in the subject area, allowing pupils to develop their abilities and understanding of Computer Science and Information Communication Technology. This involves scientific aspects of computing; programming applications, controlling events and environments, learning about the CPU and how data is processed; through to having the ability to use common software packages effectively, such as spreadsheets, databases and desktop publishing.
By the time our pupils reach S4 , we will ensure that they are fully equipped to pursue a national level qualifications in either Administration & IT or Computer Science.
The curriculum combined with our superb ICT facilities; allow us to offer our pupils an outstanding experience in the computer based subjects.

Design & Manufacturing
In Design & Technology at Annan, students are taught knowledge and skills which will enable them to be prepared for further study and the workplace. Pupils explore design and make activities in a range of material areas as well as developing their practical skills.
S1 to S3 courses focus on basic skills and the associated theory topics by working through a series of mini projects following the Broad General Education strategy. Then in S4 to S6 the focus is on controlled assessment in which pupils complete a longer project incorporating designing and making skills and focus on revision for the final exam.

Practical Woodworking
S1 to S3 follow a broad General education, allowing students to develop SQA’s Practical Woodworking qualifications develop practical woodworking skills, practical creativity and problem solving. Learners develop understanding of safe working practices in a workshop environment, and awareness of sustainability issues in a practical woodworking context.
