 The
Self Review Framework for Primary Schools
By the end of 2006, Gatehouse
has been involved in the Self Review framework leading to the ICT
Mark award in 80 schools nationally, and this will develop greatly
during the coming year.
The Self Review Framework (SRF) and associated
ICT Mark award were launched at the BETT Show in January 2006, replacing
the existing Naacemark award scheme.
The SRF is based on a maturity model enabling
schools to assess and benchmark their use of ICT across the school
and includes practical steps that schools can take to improve their
use and deployment of ICT. Schools will find that it complements
the way in which they already work when completing Ofsted’s
Self Evaluation Form.
The SRF comprises eight elements that cover
the development of ICT across the school: the eight elements are:-
1. Leadership and Management
2. Curriculum
3. Learning and Teaching
4. Assessment
5. Professional Development
6. Extending Opportunities for Learning
7. Resources
8. Impact on Pupil Outcomes
The SRF is an online tool accessed through
the Becta web site (www.becta.org.uk).
Within each of the elements there are 5 levels of attainment. The
(ICT Mark logo) denotes the ICT Mark threshold for each of the individual
aspects, typically at level 2 or 3.
Gatehouse Partnership offers
trained, experienced ICT Mark Assessors and Moderators who are able
to support schools at all levels of ICT development, to enable them
to move forward in a coherent, planned way, relevant to their needs.
Our priority is to match these needs to the SRF, working with schools
toward the levels required for the achievement of the ICT Mark if
that is what they wish. We will also work with schools using the
Framework who do not wish to apply for the ICT Mark award. During
the current academic year, Anthony and Gale have moderated other
ICT Mark Assessors in Wales and Buckinghamshire and will continue
to support this valuable QA process as it rolls out nationally.
A list of schools that Gatehouse
has been supporting in Hampshire can be located using the Hampshire
ICT Mark Schools link and those supported outside Hampshire
can be located using the Non-Hampshire
ICT Mark Schools link.
Further details of the SRF and ICT Mark
award can be found on the Becta
web site. Alternatively, you can contact any of the Gatehouse
Directors and we will be happy to talk
you through the process.
