Kit Deployed in School:

What the School Set Out To Achieve:

• Year Group(s) Involved:  7, 8
  
  

• Curriculum Area:  English, Maths, and Humanities
  
  

• Perceived Benefits:

  • My centre primarily deals with pupils who exhibit behavioural problems in mainstream and who are on individual re-integration programmes back into their lessons. Many of them have learning difficulties although not severe. What they do have is an excellent knowledge of ICT and how to use it. This has been as result of the intensive ICT access they receive during their two-week (25 lessons per week) programme they have in the centre initially, as well as the on-going lessons they receive when out of their mainstream lessons. All these lessons have an element of ICT attached.

  • The tablets would be used briefly within the centre and then the pupils would use them within their mainstream lessons.

  • At present we register 23 pupils within the centre and I would envisage all of them having access at some point during the week.

  • Alongside this group we have a disabled pupil in school who has wheelchair access and as a further result of his disability he has to write with his toes. Clearly access to a ‘PC tablet would have enormous implications for his learning within an ‘inclusive school’ setting.
