Bradfield is fortunate in having excellent and wide-ranging ICT facilities. Each pupil has their own password-protected personal directory to store their work and to access their own personal e-mail account. The College has a good range of standard business and educational software. There is fast broadband access to the Internet that gives almost instantaneous access to websites in lessons and stands up to some serious interactive game-playing after school. There are over 250 computers in classrooms and every teaching room is equipped with a projector and/or interactive whiteboard.

Each building is connected to the College network so pupils in the boarding house can continue with their school work after lessons or in prep. All pupils new to the College are required to own their own laptop and there is wired or wireless access to the Internet and College network in all study bedrooms in every boarding house.   Pupils are adept at transferring files to and from the network using a direct connection or USB memory sticks. The College supplies details of models at competitive prices and includes recommendations on software, warranty and anti-virus protection.

The ICT Support Office is manned throughout the working day and the team members will help pupils connect their own machines to the network or to assist with any other machine problems. Whilst the team is unable to guarantee that every laptop will work successfully on the network, it is very rarely beaten by a technical issue!

The College is properly protected by appropriate firewalls, filtering and anti-virus software but pupils are taught to be responsible users as part of the ICT and PSHE programmes. Issues such as cyber-bullying and hacking are taken very seriously. It is our aim that all pupils become independent and responsible users of a computer.
