Ofsted

In case you'd missed it,

Activate Learning was graded a

two in the recent Ofsted inspection.

Here's what they said about the use of technology across the group:

‘Information technology (IT) resources are plentiful and exceptionally well used in many curriculum areas. A small, but growing, number of course teams, particularly at Reading, are using web technologies to encourage learners to share documents, ideas and resources with their teachers and each other. This leads to learners having good discussions online and quickly sharing recent and relevant resources they have found or created. Learners enjoy this and many take greater responsibility for their own learning by completing activities, formulating ideas and carrying out research outside lessons.’

Here's what they said about CPD across the group:

‘Opportunities for teachers to take part in professional development are plentiful and varied. Much professional development is innovative and makes good use of web technologies to allow teachers to learn at a time that suits them, or collaboratively with colleagues.’

'Outstanding,'

here we come!
