A survey was conducted of 22 respondents on their use of ICT resources. The key findings were:
- Laptops were used twice a week or more by over 80% of respondents. iPads were used once a week or more by over 90% of respondents.
- Acti-Xpressions were rarely used, with over 60% of respondents never using them.
- Whiteboards were used at least once a week by over 75% of respondents during independent learning.
- Respondents requested more iPads, laptops, cameras and software/training to help with teaching and learning. The majority also felt they needed more training on specific software like Acti-Xpressions.
Schools during Queen Victoria's reign were not free until 1891, and prior to that law children had to pay to attend. However, Victoria oversaw many improvements to children's education, especially for poor children, including establishing the idea that all children should attend school and implementing regulations on child labor. The Victorians introduced laws defining appropriate work expectations for children and inspections to ensure schools maintained sufficient standards of education, since most children in early Victorian England received no schooling and could not read or write.
Michael Rosen was born in 1946 in Harrow, Middlesex. He has written around 26-27 poems, using descriptive words that make the imagination run wild. The poem discussed describes a boy who wants to be beautiful and a girl who wants to be strong feeling worried they are not enough, until the reader comes along and can change their story. Michael Rosen is a children's poet known for both confusing and funny poems.
Michael Gove suspended the ICT curriculum in 2012 to give schools more freedom over what and how to teach technology subjects. Ofsted reports found that while primary schools taught some ICT skills well, programming, data handling and cross-curricular planning were areas of weakness. A new computing curriculum is now being proposed to ensure all students understand fundamental computing principles like algorithms, data and programming from an early age. It aims to make students competent and creative users of technology through practical experience writing code to solve problems across different subjects.

- Pupils may only use approved email accounts, and personal details must not be shared online.
- Publishing of pupil images and work online requires parental permission.
This document outlines an action plan to improve leadership and management of ICT, teaching and learning of ICT, and ICT resources at a school. The plan includes setting up an ICT working party, ensuring all students can access the ICT curriculum, monitoring existing ICT practice, exploring moderation of ICT achievement across schools, developing staff training for new technologies, and increasing student access to collaborative learning tools. Owners and timelines are assigned for each element.
