Getting the most from ICT in a new build project

• Creating their vision
• The importance of partnership with their ICT supplier
• Benefits for teachers and students
• Advice to others on how to get the most from ICT in a new build project

Benefits to students

"Since The Academy opened in September, there's been a dramatic improvement in attainment... The students have far more access to ICT than they did previously. Bearing in mind that an awful lot of the subjects we offer are 100% coursework, the ICT resources have been extremely beneficial to the students."

Assistant Principal, The Folkestone Academy

In remembrance of John Patterson
Principal of The Folkestone Academy, 2007 - 2008

John Patterson died very unexpectedly in April 2008, very soon after this film was made. We'd like to give tribute to John's life, and the energy and enthusiasm that he put into making The Folkestone Academy what it is today. Without John, none of this would have been possible.
