The school recognised the need for change and set out an SDP which was ambitious, put teaching at the core and which bought together a community of industry-led support.
The school became a case study for the DfE to showcase how the use of technology can raise standards of teaching, learning and assessment in an underachieving primary school. In order to provide hardware, software and resources for outstanding teaching, the school partnered with BT, Hewlett Packard (HP), Microsoft and GLUU. These companies provided expertise and know-how to create a sustainable framework for improvement as well as a tailored programme of CPD for teaching staff.
