In July 2009, Scargill Junior School was awarded the Becta ICT Mark.
In the ICT Mark Assessor’s report the following elements were highlighted as ‘Areas of strength/outstanding practice within the self-review framework’:-
- Passion and vision for handheld learning supporting independent, pupil led learning across the curriculum.
- Commitment and enthusiasm from all staff – exemplified in well planned, high quality cross curriculum activities using these resources.
- Management, implementation and review of innovations led by ICT co-ordinator.
Amanda Ireland, Scargill Junior School’s Head Teacher commented, “We are thrilled at achieving the ICT Mark. It is recognition for the fabulous work we are doing to enable our children to achieve lifelong learning and skills in the 21st Century. ICT is key to this and we aim to develop and extend this even further.”
The HIAS ICT Team would like to congratulate Amanda and all the staff at Scargill Junior School for all of their hard work in achieving the ICT Mark, in particular ICT Co-ordinator Karen Webley. This is a well-deserved award and demonstrates the School’s innovative commitment to school improvement through ICT.
