Welcome Back!

A warm welcome to our existing colleagues and those who have just joined us in posts across Hertfordshire. We are sure that this will be yet another action packed term as many of you are faced with the reality of delivering new courses or SoW.

We look forward to working with you this term.

New KS3 PoS

We all spent a large part of last year familiarising ourselves with the new KS3 PoS and the Framework for Year 7.  This year our focus will shift towards adapting and embedding the Framework into the Y8 SoW.  Having worked with many of you on developing engaging SoW I came across this resource which you may find useful when reinforcing the notion of creating for a specific audience and purpose.

Diplomas

Good luck to all the Gateway 1 schools delivering the Diploma for the first time this term, we look forward to hearing how you are getting on.  Gateway 2 schools start their long road to planning SoW.

Functional Skills Pilot Centres

This term we see the number of Hertfordshire ICT pilot centres increase as we begin the second year of the 3 year pilot.  We will be joined by the gateway two consortia centres.
