Technologies

Welcome to the Technologies learning teaching and assessment blog! Here you will find information on the work undertaken by the Technologies and Digital curriculum team. We offer free bespoke Curriculum Support in the Technologies.

The purpose of this support is to provide hands-on support working alongside practitioners in all sectors to improve learning, teaching, and assessment. 

We can offer national, regional and local support.  Information on national support is available on this page. Regional and local support and Professional Learning (anything from an hour to a full day) can be negotiated and built to support the needs of cluster groups, subject networks, individual schools, and subject departments and can cover a number of areas of focus.

Support can take place virtually or in person, depending on demand.  Information is also available on this page about existing networks (local, regional or national) as well resources available for practitioners.
