Feedback

Schools using our scheme are finding that it provides new opportunities to engage pupils in using technology.

Congratulations to Cunningham Hill Junior, which adopted the scheme in September 2011 and has just had a very successful OFSTED. The report included this comment:

"In an outstanding lesson in information and communication technology (ICT), pupils were able to reach exceptionally high levels of attainment and develop their skills extremely well. This was because the teacher’s subject knowledge was thorough and secure. Pupils made their own animations and then busily set to work making their ‘voice overs’. The end product was excellent and, as a result, pupils broke into spontaneous applause."

Congratulations to Mandeville Primary School in St Albans on achieving the ICT Mark. After adopting the scheme in May 2011, the school has embedded it to support teaching and learning. The school's excellent ICT Mark report noted:

"The recently adopted new ICT scheme of work ensures that the development of ICT capability is systematically planned for. … ICT sits at the heart of learning at Mandeville Primary."

"e-Safety is an integral part of the new scheme of work and the school participate in e-Safety day each year. Pupils have excellent awareness of how to keep themselves safe and of issues relating to reliability of information."

The Hertfordshire primary ICT curriculum advisers have developed a new and creative approach to support schools in delivering the ICT curriculum.

The new scheme provides a flexible and manageable approach to planning and assessment of ICT through the primary school phase. It includes a dedicated section for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

It has been designed to be introduced to schools by guided sessions in school from one of our ICT curriculum advisers.

The scheme is regularly updated to ensure it is kept in line with the latest thinking and takes account of changes in guidance. These updates are emailed directly to those schools which have adopted the scheme. To see a list of these updates, click here
