Why Focus On ICT?

It is widely acknowledged now that ICT has a significant role to play in improving learning and management in schools. In the early days of the National Grid for Learning, ICT was about resourcing but in the last few years the emphasis has shifted to how ICT can be used to develop all areas of school improvement. Schools are now thinking about how these new technologies can enhance their teaching and learning practices and embrace the wider community whilst lowering the burden of administration and management. Those schools that are successful in this are the ones that are achieving success in every area of their school.

Since the Ofsted ImpaCT2 study in 2002 and all other ICT and attainment studies thereafter, there is irrefutable proof that ICT helps to raise attainment. ICT also plays a key role in the Every Child Matters and Personalised Learning agendas. However achievement of these goals requires the correct development of ICT.

With all the guidance available from the DCSF, Ofsted, BECTA, NAACE, NCSL, other government bodies and suppliers, how can you make sure the ICT development decisions you are making are the correct ones?

Matrix is passionately committed to help schools reach this level of e-confidence and though this service we believe we can work together in partnership to achieve this.

Not every school requires our services as they all have different attitudes to ICT development and leadership. Indeed we have strict guidelines to ensure we do not work with schools if we feel our services will not make a difference.

We would therefore like to visit your school to introduce our services and discuss whether they might provide a significant impact on school improvement. This visit will take about an hour of your time. During the visit we will provide you with key information about the current and future use of ICT and how it relates to your school. This will allow you to steer your school in the right ICT direction even if you don’t subscribe to any service.
