Hi everyone. I’m Pam – teacher for 30 yrs. Have taught from Reception to A-levels, but managed to miss out on Yrs 4,5+6! I work at a First School in Middx. A .8 classteacher, Yr group leader, ICT co-ordinator + Network Administrator, SMT. In my spare time, I ............sleep. Occasionally, I use my craft interests to make hand made cards. I have sold a few, but as of yet not enough coffers in the retirement fund to leave.

BIG THANK YOU to you all for your input. Youv'e all been great. Now I have to settle down and concentrate on the flipping thing. A quiet evening at home with some wine to sweeten the task I think! :drinkers: ros

Hey Ric_ I have my original policy - just needed advice on what 'new' stuff needed to be added. Cheers ros

Russ These are very useful Thank you

Thanks SYSMAN_MK - it's been interesting although a bit frustrating!!!!

Thanks Russ - as you say some misunderstanding!!! The Becta link was great as it gives some guidelines - I seemed to have missed that bit while searching. The ICT teachers one - I know about. Unfortunately these are old ones. The Curriculum has changed and with the addition of all the new peripherals we have access to now plus cross curricular links - there is just so much to put in. Ideally working with someone who is also updating theirs would be ideal. I've tried on so many forums and within our LEA and the response is.... well obviously no one is doing theirs at the mo! Having just sorted out the AUP and ploughing my way through the ICT mark criteria..... I was just hoping for some respite. Cheers

SYSMAN_MK What do you mean? - To be fair that is really the ICT Co-Ord to create the school ICT policy. Are you saying that every school co-ordinator has to sit down wasting their time writing their own when every school has to have one? Surely we ought to be helping each other? BTW - what job do you do? I AM the ICT co-ordinator/Network Admin and SMT!

Ric_ + Cybernerd I think that what you are asking for is really two seperate things. 1. You would like an AUP... for this check out the Wiki for examples 2. A plan for ICT development... the functional specification mentioned above will help you with this. The 'matrix' is also very useful in quickly providing you with a plan. No I'm not..... I HAVE an AUP.... done, dusted and in the past! I don't want anything either about specifications and planning for the future. What I need is how it affects the curriculum....how it is used .... assessed....monitored, used with other subjects etc.... That is why it is entitled ICT Curriculm Policy! Cheers

Thanks for trying - but it is not applicable to curriculum

Hi I've had a quick look at other posts but unable to find what I'm looking for. Apologies if I have overlooked someone's and it has answered the same request. :? I am looking for an example of a curriculum policy for a First school/primary school. The LEA have issued guidelines for an AUP and that's been finalised. The info I have gathered so far has been from one end of the spectrum to another regarding a curriculum policy. can anyone help please?
