For those of us who were schooled before the turn of the century it will seem like something out of science fiction, but for pupils at one Swansea school it’s the future here today. Youngsters in Cila Primary School, Upper Killay, are at the forefront of education after discarding paper and pencils for state-of-the-art iPads. The handheld computer devices allow them to connect to the Internet and the classroom’s large high-tech white board, as well as downloading applications that more or less cater for every area of the curriculum.

The school’s IT coordinator, Katy Gregory, said: “Technology is ever changing and at Cila Primary School our aim is to ensure that our pupils have access to the growing multimedia world around them, enabling a successful transition into further education and the working world.”
