Levels A - C


Why was this work undertaken?
1. After an HMI inspection there was a need to raise attainment.
2. There was an opportunity for funding through New Community Schools.

We identified that using ICT would facilitate this need.

 

How was it developed?
It is still in its pilot phase (first 12 weeks) after initial training. This is monitored closely and will then be opened out to all other primary stages (currently P3 and P6 only).

 

What was the impact on pupils' learning?
Already we are finding our pupils to be more focused, self-motivated learners enjoying key areas of the curriculum

 

What was the impact of teaching strategies?
Purely from a monitoring point of view this will be easy to self manage and deliver. Teacher intervention does occur but very infrequently.

 

Hardware/software requirements and useful linked websites.
We use 10 laptops with Research Machines' Success Maker, Maths Concepts and Skills / Initial Reader / Reading Workshop / Reading Readiness / Reading Adventures / Spelling (skills based).
