sOfSTED said…
The school… is recognised within the local authority and nationally as a leading school for its use of technologies”. (HMI 2010)
“Leaders and managers are highly ambitious for the school to flourish as a centre of excellence. Pioneering work in information and communication technology supports and promotes pupils‟good learning”. (HMI 2010)
“Opportunities are plentiful for pupils to use their literacy, numeracy and information and communication technology skills extensively across the curriculum. Their application of these skills across many areas of school life is highly effective, preparing them exceptionally well for future learning and their place in modern society”. (HMI 2010)

Northants BLTBetter Learning using Technology
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
The simple power of sharing an idea is summed up by George Bernard Shaw:
That simple power is the fuel of the Northants BLT
But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
1. What exites you about the
possibiilities of technology in your
school?
2. What scares you about the
possibilities of technology in your
school?
3. What can you share which is exciting
about technology in your school?
