Technology College



The school is one of only a few special schools in the country to have achieved Specialist School Status - Technology.

John Jamieson is constantly challenging barriers to learning in school through mainstream practice for children and young people with learning difficulties, some with additional physical and complex medical needs. There has been significant advancement already in the Technology subjects, therefore the selection of technology as a specialism was our obvious choice to support us in raising attainment across all subjects. New technologies, eg CAD, CAM, Switch Access and Distance Learning opportunities both enable and support pupils with SEN to achieve.

Specialist Technology Status will extend opportunities for all pupils and especially the increased provision of vocational learning and enrichment activities through links with associated sponsors, businesses, employers and other educational establishments. We are keen to further develop vocational pathways as recommended in the recent HMI document - 2004.
