What heads say…
“The important thing to recognise is that you don’t need a prior interest in ICT to benefit... you just have to acknowledge the importance of technology to children’s learning.”
Ron Gandolfo, Lingfield Primary School
“The focus of the course is very much on leadership. It looks at good ideas for deploying ICT in schools and helps headteachers to make them a reality.” Brendan Loughran, Westhoughton High School (secondary)
“In particular, many heads draw inspiration from visiting other schools where they see the potential of technology being successfully exploited in fresh and often unexpected ways.”
Margaret Griffin, Pirehill First School (primary)
