Using the SRF for whole school improvement with ICT Presentation to SMT Primary Presented by Paul Scott / Education Bradford October 2008
21st Century Learning “Technology is an essential and inescapable part of 21st Century living and learning. All aspects of school life are enhanced and enabled with technology.” “Learning, Teaching and Managing with ICT” Funding Guidance for Schools and Local Authorities 2006- 2007
Concentrating on outcomes for learners • Greater choice and opportunity for learning • Learners to be better motivated, involved and engaged in their learning • To help every child, young person and adult learner to have even greater success and achievement • Learning to be more exciting, relevant and fun • And we want learning online to be safe and secure • “…take the discussion out of the technology world and place it firmly in the world of learners and learning”
Self-review - people planning improvement • Review practice not only technology • Focus on evaluating whole school improvement not auditing technology implementation • Review your actions and progress as well as practice • Use the review to establish a consensus involving: • All staff • Pupils' views and insights • Other stakeholders
Self-review benefits and outcomes • Where are you in your whole school improvement and ICT development? • How does your school compare with others? • What are your schools aspirations? • What does good look like in your school? • How will your school progress further? • What actions will your school leaders prioritise? • Where might your school need support?
Starting points for self-review • Raising achievement • Procurement • Total cost of ownership • Computers for Pupils • Learning Platforms • E-safety • Engaging parents • Truancy • Workforce development • Curriculum development • Every Child Matters • Personalising learning • Behaviour • Recruitment Can progress and improvement be made in any of these areas without a review of how technology is being used and harnessed?
Introduction to the SRF • The Self-review Framework is an online tool which enables schools to assess and benchmark their use of ICT across all their activities. It enables schools to identify where they are, and shows the practical steps they can take to improve their ICT use to benefit the organisation. In many areas, it complements the work schools currently undertake for Ofsted’s Self Evaluation Framework. • The Self-review Framework comprises eight elements; these elements cover the whole development of ICT across the school and enables a school to assess itself against the eight elements.
The SRF Elements Curriculum Assessment Resources Impact on pupil outcomes Leadership and Vision Teaching and learning Professional Development Extended learning

Aims of the SRF • To help schools assess their provision for ICT against a nationally agreed standard. • To help schools to identify strengths and weaknesses in their planning, delivery and provision for ICT. • To help schools design and implement action plans to improve their provision for ICT. • To establish a standard for the ICT Mark for those schools wishing to accredit their provision for ICT.
The SRF – a whole school process The Self-review Framework is designed to asses the effective use of ICT throughout the whole school and therefore has to be a whole school process driven by the SMT. It may be beneficial to define a Primary ICT team for your school including the following roles: ICT strategic leader – SMT ICT subject leaders Technical support Governors
The SRF online - Review Evidence from school appraisal processes and monitoring of learning and teaching. Comparisons of subject demands or expectations of ICT and skill levels of pupils. School policy on internal recognition and celebration and external accreditation. Formal and informal pupil interviews. Accreditation targets and records. What is the evidence and where is it? The school's ICT policy, including e-safety, schemes of work and programmes of study. Individual subject or departmental schemes of work and/or ICT policy. Pupils' portfolios of work showing application of ICT in a variety of contexts. Evidence from teachers about the range of use of ICT in their teaching and their expectations of pupils.
The SRF online - Review How can we be sure where we think the school is and what evidence is there? What information do we need to gather, who do we need to talk to, what can we do to improve?
The SRF online - Review What can we do to go forward? Identify and plan in opportunities to develop, consolidate and apply ICT capability across the curriculum. Integrate the development of ICT capability across the curriculum and build in opportunities to extend and challenge pupil and staff use of ICT. Devise an ICT scheme of work that incorporates the KS3 strategy materials and KS4 students can then continue with following a GCSE or CIDA/DIDA course in ICT.
Using the SRF The SRF can be accessed on https://selfreview.becta.org.uk/ Step 1 – Look at the guidance materials available to support the element Step 2 – Complete the aspects for the elements you are interested in Step 3 – Bench mark against other schools and ICT Mark standards Step 4 – Action plan the areas you wish to develop Remember to ask yourself ‘how do I know?’ and ‘what evidence do I have to support this?’
Going forward with your action plan • There are many ways that you can go forward with your action planning. • Remember to look at the big picture with regard to ICT in your school and decide which elements you wish to focus on. • Decide who and how your action plan will progress. • Where possible link this to other school initiatives and actions.
Education Bradford and the SRF • Curriculum ICT have a 2 day ICT sub leader course of which a day is given over to the use of the SRF. • We will have run about 10 workshop / seminar sessions for all schools for free introducing the SRF. • We have worked with schools on a one to one basis where the opportunity has arose. • Meeting with SIOs. • Planned cluster meetings for this year for any school’s engaged in the SRF to encourage / support their use of ICT for whole school improvement.
