The vision does not distinguish clearly between the different opportunities offered by ICT. It is limited to the potential impact of ICT on marginal aspects of the school’s work or is mainly focused on the acquisition of resources. The vision recognises the potential for ICT to enhance some aspects of the school’s key functions, including learning and teaching. This vision is consistent with the school’s overall aims. The vision clearly identifies the potential of ICT to enhance all aspects of the school’s work and embraces the learning needs of all pupils. It recognises the distinctive contribution of ICT and identifies how this supports the school’s wider aims and aspirations. There is a vision which embraces the needs of the wider school community, is informed by the national context and anticipates future developments in practice and technology. 1a- -2 Development and ownership of the vision There is no expressed vision from those leading ICT.

The school does not have any systems to review or develop its vision for ICT. It has limited, or ad hoc awareness of emerging technologies or practice which might influence a future vision for ICT. The school reviews its vision in relation to emerging technologies or effective practice. The vision is not consistently informed by the outcomes of internal evaluations of the impact of ICT. The school regularly reviews and revises its vision in the light of developments in technology, knowledge of effective practice and the outcomes of school monitoring and evaluation. TIn regularly reviewing and updating its vision for ICT, the school proactively explores the potential of emerging technologies, new initiatives and practices, and the outcomes of its own evaluations.
