The three infant classes and the class of oldest juniors are housed within the main building while the other two classes are in mobiles. All children at Southwick have access to computers both in each classroom and in the ICT suite. As well as games designed to develop children's language and mathematical abilities, children are encouraged to become confident in the use of word processing and data base facilities.
