Primary ICT Accreditation Scheme
Changes are currently being made to this website – The updated website will be live on Wednesday 8th September.
The changes include new tasks, amendments to existing tasks and new Support Materials.
Please check back soon.
The Primary ICT Accreditation Scheme is intended for pupils at Key Stages 1 and 2 and provides you with a framework to develop and enhance your pupils’ ICT skills and award them, at the end of each key stage, with a certificate detailing their level of ICT competence.
Summer Term News:
The moderation of the school portfolios is now complete and this month you will be receiving certificates for your pupils. The standard of the work was very good and it was great to hear from schools that the pupils enjoyed participating in it.
We were delighted that you were all able to successfully upload your school portfolio and would like to thank your comments that were very helpful to the moderators.
Along with your pupil certificates you will receive an evaluation questionnaire. We would really encourage you to complete this and return it as it will inform us of your views and experiences of the scheme.
In response to a request by some schools we have included a letter that you may decide to send to parents. This explains that the scheme has been revised and it sets out the expected levels.
A report on the scheme will be written by the Principal Moderator in September and you will receive this in the Autumn term along with a copy of the 'Northern Ireland Summary of Outcomes'.
