Bruce Grindlay Headmaster Sutton Valence School What range of technologies do your students have access to in the classroom on a daily basis? We value combining more traditional teaching methods with new innovations to ensure that we give our pupils experience of relevant technologies and how they can be used. In addition to two age-appropriate ICT suites, our teachers and pupils have access to interactive whiteboards, bringing the curriculum to life, and a bank of iPads which are used across all subjects. Above: The beautiful facade of Battle Abbey School What effect has social media had on students’ relationships and behaviour? At Battle Abbey we take E-Safety very seriously and it is incorporated into lessons across the curriculum. In all computing lessons we dedicate a term to learning about E-Safety and how pupils should interact with social media. We also participate in the nationwide Safer Internet Day in February. How has technology been incorporated into the curriculum, other than ICT lessons? We enjoy the juxtaposition of occupying such a historical location and providing our pupils with the cutting edge technology that they and their families would expect from an independent education. A great many subjects incorporate technology into the classrooms, perhaps most notably science where not only do iPads and hand held devices help pupils access the curriculum, but allow pupils to work collaboratively on projects via the school’s wireless network. We are very conscious of pupils’ often very specific individual learning needs and technology can be a huge enabler in terms of synergy with each of their learning styles. Our campus is fully covered by a wireless network (even though the thick Abbey walls do their best to make this as difficult as possible!). How do you control the use of mobile phones within school hours? The advent of modern phone technology has made this increasingly difficult to enforce. The school’s wireless system is fitted with a FortiGate filter unit, but pupils will always be able to access 3G via their smart phones if they so choose. However, pupils in KS3 have their phones routinely collected in morning registration and they are kept under lock and key for the duration of the school day. For older pupils, phones are not allowed to be used at break time or in lessons unless expressly permitted by a teacher. Our focus is on education as a form of prevention and this, allied with the school’s robust policy on the matter, has meant that transgressions are few and far between and effectively dealt with if they do occur. Battle Abbey School 01424 772385 battleabbeyschool.com How do you keep up to date with the fastchanging technology world? Technologies are consistently changing and improving. As a school we utilise specialists and our staff to investigate the best ICT practice for each area of the school. Staff are regularly trained and visit technology conferences, such as BETT, to support their ongoing development. We are not swayed by fads, but carefully consider what is the most appropriate and educationally beneficial technology. How has technology been incorporated into the curriculum, other than ICT lessons? Across the curriculum, subject heads are encouraged to engage with ICT as part of their planning process. Staff also share ideas within regular curriculum meetings. Recent examples include creating eBooks, video editing, presentations, spreadsheets and even coding. ‘Minecraft’ has also been introduced as a club and is often used as a teaching resource where appropriate. What effect has social media had on students’ relationships and behaviour? As a prep school, many of the children are not yet engaged in social media. However, with an ethos where each cares for all, we believe in preparing them to use social media, computers and mobile phones responsibly. Our school community is very supportive and we work with families to inform and equip their children to use technology in a balanced and safe way that maintains respect for themselves and others.
