Compton School in North Finchley was celebrating this week after being granted specialist technology status.
The school in Summers Lane was one of 13 in London to be selected by the Government to receive a £100,000 capital grant and £123 per pupil every year for four years.
In return it will focus on sharing new IT facilities with neighbouring schools and the community.
Headteacher Teresa Tunnadine was delighted to achieve technology status after the school's first application.
She said: "This means a considerable investment in IT for the school so that we can probably get another 150 computers.
"We will be developing the web site and IT links with businesses and other schools and we will provide IT courses for members of the community."
Compton joins Mill Hill County High School in Worcester Crescent, Mill Hill, which achieved technology status in 1995 and now benefits from 215 computers which can all be connected to the internet simultaneously.
Each pupil has their own email address and five other junior schools in partnership with the school use the facilities.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
