This resource was recently featured at the HIAS Primary ICT Leaders’ meeting. A sample pack is being distributed to all primary and special schools in Havering by the HIAS ICT Team - please encourage parents/carers to access these excellent materials via…
Includes information on the Rose Report and how it relates to ICT, HIAS ICT Bursaries winners, video-conferencing opportunities - including Michael Rosen and National Poetry Day. Also, how to sign-up for the Becta Self-Review Framework (SRF), which provides an excellent audit tool for your school’s current and future ICT provision. NB. The number of Havering schools actively engaged with the SRF and aiming for the extremely prestigious ICT Mark has doubled in the past three months. The momentum is really growing. We hope to be announcing more ICT Mark accredited schools before the end of the Summer Term. If you have Activemark, Arts Mark, Healthy Schools Award etc – it is time to get the ICT Mark too.

Sing Up is the Music Manifesto’s National Singing Programme. It’s a programme to make sure that singing is at the heart of every primary school child’s life. We believe that singing has power to change lives and help to build stronger communities. Thanks to Brookside Infant School for flagging-up this website.
Students from Abbs Cross, Campion, Coopers and Sacred Heart of Mary Schools had the excellent experience of linking with Patrick Harrild, the Principal Tuba of the London Symphony Orchestra http://lso.co.uk/patrickharrild over video-conferencing who worked with the students to develop their tuba playing skills in readiness for a competition in July. The students worked on Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Patrick gave advice to the students, helping them to hone their playing skills. Head of the Havering Music School Isobel Liebman commented, “This was a great opportunity for our students to work with an expert in the field to improve their playing skills.”
