As a School of Ambition and Excellence we are some way down the route of these 4 strands
1. Developing the leadership potential and capacity of the whole school, Staff and Pupils 2. Introducing Vocational Courses to the curriculum 3. Removing the age and stage restrictions from the certificated courses. 4. Developing the use of ICT to support the curriculum
I am heavily involved with the ICT strand so that is what I will be talking about mainly. Though, of course, the other strands will be brought in as well. So what are we planning in the ICT Strand?
Every Teacher has a Tablet PC A wireless network Wireless Projectors in every teaching area A presentation space in the Assembly Hall A Media Server A Class Server Existing courses digitised S1 'Benchmarked' for IC3 Giving them individual curriculum in S1/2 Once these are in place then give every pupil a UMPC computer
All of these are in Partnership with Microsoft, Dell, Diageo (Large local employer) and Prodigy (Certiport solution provider).
Maybe more partners in the future We have just started down this route. I am sure we will have lots of challenges ahead.

having looked at them briefly I can make an Initial Reaction comment.
Overall impression: very good.
Concerns: Seems very decluttered and also some of the levels look a bit early or too late
Positives: Like the collaboration, sustainability and the wonderful vagueness of it all.
Final thought: looks like we're gona get big on the ethics (which is a good thing)
