VERY Important...

Can you all have a look at this scheme. It looks great, sounds great and could be our next step on delivering a supportive (for you) ICT curriculum that is creative and modern...

It has a couple of free resources to look at and is backed up with tutorials (for us) and a support website too.
If we go for it - we could do with purchasing before the summer as the themes may have a bearing on your planning.

Let me know what you think ASAP please.

Lots of stuff to inspire...

Draft National Curriculum PoS - 2012

The new PoS for the draft National Curriculum have been published on the DfE website.

At the top of our blog is a new tab that houses all the documents in one handy place for us to read online if you choose to.

It is important that we remember that they are a draft stage and a final consultation hasn't been undertaken. It will eventually go to unions and other bodies for feedback. This is a chance for us to have a look and provide feedback for our own ends.

Here are some key questions that need answering and considering:

• What's changing?
• How could it affect our school and our approach?
• What might we need to do to prepare?
• What feedback might we give to our stakeholders and to the DfE?

There are Stixy Links at the side of the blog for recording our thoughts. They are public pages (to be shared with governors and parents) so be be professional in your critique!!
