The City Learning Centre @ Winterhill is an exciting teaching & learning facility which aims to raise attainment of pupils in the Rotherham area via the use of state of the art ICT.
One of the key elements of the Excellence in Cities (EiC) programme is the establishment of a network of school-based City Learning Centres (CLCs). There are over 100 CLCs operating in EiC areas across the country. These provide state-of-the art ICT-based learning opportunities for the pupils at the host school, for pupils at a network of surrounding schools and for the wider community.
CLCs enhance learning across the whole curriculum by: providing courses and opportunities for individual pupils; delivering services and outreach support for a wider network of local schools, including providing extension activities for gifted and talented pupils and study support; acting as test beds for innovation and new ways of teaching and learning; cascading best practice amongst the local network of schools; and linking with other facilities including other learning centres.
CLCs also provide the local community and businesses access to state-of-the art ICT facilities and training.
