ICT Services to Schools - Invitation to School Workshops No.2
1. Introduction
Thank you to all schools' staff who attended the School Workshops held in November to discuss the ICT requirements specific to Norfolk's schools - a summary of key messages from attendees at these workshops can be found at: www.schools.norfolk.gov.uk
Thank you too for your responses to the School ICT Requirements' Questionnaire. We were pleased to receive a total of 945 questionnaire responses from over 200 schools - a summary of those responses will be available at the above website from early January 2011.
We have arranged a second series of School Workshops to take place in January 2011 to obtain your views on the draft ICT Service Design for Schools. This document will be based on the detailed feedback you gave at the November workshops and in the Questionnaire. Please attend one of the workshops (each workshop will cover the same topics) and take the opportunity to walk through and comment on the proposed service design.
As before, the workshops are suitable for: Head Teachers Staff involved in leadership and management of ICT Teaching and non-teaching staff
The dates/venues are: 26th January 2011 at West Norfolk Professional Development Centre, Kilhams Way, Kings Lynn, PE30 2HU 27th January 2011 at South Green Park Enterprise Centre, Mattishall, Dereham, NR20 3JY 28th January 2011 at Norwich City Football Club, Carrow Road, Norwich
Lunch will be provided from 1.00pm and the workshops will start at 2.00pm and finish at 4.00pm. To book a place on a workshop please e-mail ICT Business Support with your preferred date and any dietary requirements.
2. Background - Brief Recap
Members wish to see the integrated ICT Service in place by April 2011. The rationale for this was outlined in the Fair Funding Consultation document.
We want to establish world class ICT for Norfolk Learners and we need robust and secure ICT services and support to enable the highest possible learning outcomes. It remains our ambition to achieve the aims agreed in the e-learning strategy and to continue to work with schools in line with the principles set out in that document.
