ICT Mark

  ICT Mark Logo LargeDoes your school deserve recognition for its use of ICT?

Do you need a structure around which to embed the use of ICT in your school?
The ICT Mark is a quality award designed to develop and recognise schools with a successful approach to ICT. It has been developed by NAACE, NCSL and Becta and is intended to promote a strategy for the use of ICT which enhances teaching and learning and which provides opportunities for the school community to develop ICT capability. It is a nationally recognised standard that includes DfES and OfSTED criteria. Schools with an ICT Mark can be confident that their approach to ICT is sound and will be able to face an OfSTED inspection knowing that they meet current ICT requirements.

In order to be awarded the ICT Mark schools need to show that they meet the threshold standards in:
  1. Leadership and Management - ICT vision and strategy
  2. ICT in the curriculum
  3. Learning and Teaching with ICT
  4. Assessment of, and with ICT
  5. Professional Development
  6. Extending opportunities for learning
  7. Resources - provision, access and management
  8. Impact on pupil outcomes

How to apply for the ICT Mark
  • Register for Becta's self-review framework
  • Undertake a whole school review across all eight elements of the self-review framework.
  • Ensure that you have reached the ICT Mark level in every aspect of all the elements and strands of the framework.
  • Work as a whole school and ensure that the comments and evidence recorded on each aspect of the self-review framework reflects the level of maturity and practice required for the ICT Mark.
