Weekly slots for computing lessons and also use for cross-curricular lessons

# data[].attributes.body
Some are often outdated, take a long time to turn on etc which can eat into valuable lesson time

# data[].attributes.body
We have 18 new ipads in the school, we use them occasionally but need to explore more cross-curricular links to use them, especially in EYFS

# data[].attributes.headline
We have old ipads and new ipads that have to be used across the year groups. Ipads for 1:1  children aswell. But the IOS isn't always updated. DC HW

# data[].attributes.body
IPADS have been used well in year 1 units and year 5.

# data[].attributes.body
Ipads are easily accessible, user friendly for all types of leaners.

Ipads can be limited in regards to apps we need to access for Switched On

# data[].attributes.body
We have 30.

Disadvantage - lots of the children struggle to use the trackpad

# data[].attributes.body
We have 15 computers for the children to use. This is used for every computing lesson.

Benefits: Children can access the curriculum and practise their computing skills

Negatives: Sometimes our server is down which means that the lessons cannot be accessed

# data[].attributes.body
We have 60 chromebooks that are old but still going strong

Benefits -

portable

pupils find it easier to log in

can be used in a range of lesson cross curricular

Cons -

Oversubscribed classes mean we don't have one each

No budget to replace

We use Chrome books from year 2 upwards- lower down the school children logging in is a problem. We can complete most units of the scheme on these. GT-Mead Each year group has access to 30 Chromes

Each class has a class iPad, however we have a large number of SEN children at our school and have just introduced a specialised 'learning zone' for them. At times their 1:1 support staff are not able to access an iPad on the spot to document any progress or record evidence of learning

# data[].attributes.body
We have 15 ipads which are no longer fit for purpose and are only used as cameras now. We are unable to download any new apps due to them being too old.

# data[].attributes.headline
Chromebooks across all year groups to use some are updated and outdated. But problem we have is charging them people not putting them in the right places or if an issue occurs they don't tell anyone. Some year groups are missing chromebooks which mean all children can't use one and then it's searching for the chromebooks that people say they don't have. DC- HW

Not all of the computers in our school work and are very slow which makes it difficult for users to log in

Does give a easier access to accessing google sites we need for Switched On curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
We have only 15 Chromebooks that are available for teachers to book out for cross-curricular activities.

# data[].attributes.body
We have 23 ipads, used to have 30 but slowly they have died.

They are good for research as safari works, but the software cannot be updated anymore so we cannot add new apps and we do not have the money to buy more.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a new ICT suite which reception, Yr 1 and Yr 2 can use every week. Reception are learning to type, use the mouse and navigate simple programmes.

# data[].attributes.body
We do not have an ICT suite.

We have a laptop trolley but many of the laptop are very slow and used for SEN children.

# data[].attributes.body
We have 20 HP Probook laptops. We would really like more, or Chromebooks, to help with typing skills as we feel iPads are used much more which obviously doesn't allow for practise of typing.

# data[].attributes.body
We have 30 new. We use them a lot not only for computing but for lots of other areas of the curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
Positive/Negative - children especially in KS1 tend not to know how to use trackpad on laptops as they are used to touch screen devices

# data[].attributes.body
We have 30 per class in UKS2 which are touch screen and are used in most lessons, in a variety of ways, however there is then an expectation to print off any work the children produce on it which can be time consuming. Children are really engaged when they use them. Great resource for SEN pupils who struggle with their writing skills.

LKS2 also have 30 per class but lack the confidence and skills to use them. Are hesitant as they also say the children do not have the skills to use them effectively. Have asked for some CPD and training in using them in all subjects and not just for Accelerated Reader or for research.

# data[].attributes.body
We have 30 chromebooks which personally I really like. I enjoy being able to have them in the classroom as makes it an easier transition for children to log in. Are portable so can be moved around easily. Keyboards are lowercase so easier for children to navigate

Disadvantages- some teachers are unaware of how to use them.

Scheme of work says to use Microsoft products whereby can only use google docs (unsure whether we can get word on the chromebooks).

We have a unit with our scheme whether children work on mouse skills. Children struggle to use touch pad.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a computer suite with 30 computers - only around 24/25 work - we have a board that connect to show pupils what the computer screen should look like and model, but staff don't know how to use it.

It is a constant struggle to use the IT suite computers because it is a long process to turn them on and log in, some year groups use support staff to go in and turn them on prior to the lesson but it is difficult for year groups with no additional adults.

I am currently in a bid with my head to raise the profile of our ICT suite as she is looking to remove it.

# data[].attributes.body
Each class in school has 6 iPads each. These are used every day and if needed for class teaching the year group shares. Therefore 18 are able to be used for a lesson. Each iPad is labelled so able to be returned to the right classroom. Advantage is that each year group can have different apps downloaded to match switched on computing to save on memory space. They are then used again more recently to use google classroom to be able to use slides etc for Digital Literacy lesson.

laptop trolley with 15 laptops in which is no longer used, very slow, children cannot login and they don't run what is needed for lessons

Ipads many are old and will not charge, not fit for purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
We have 2 sets of 15 iPads. One for Year 6 to support with interventions and the 15 for the rest of the school that's used for online practise - TTRS etc.

Positives -

They are portable.

We have recently updated them and our Apple ID so it is a lot faster

Negatives -

We find that our WIFI doesn't reach a lot of the classrooms so it means no one can access being online.

There isn't a universal app download option when trying to download apps to all iPads. Instead we have to go to each individual iPad and enter a code that's been sent to the Apple ID email address.

# data[].attributes.body
We've got 30 iPad Air 2s in KS1- quite old not supported by Apple anymore. Run by Meraki system.

30 older iPads (dock connectors)- obsolete

# data[].attributes.body
Only have 30 chrome books in year 6 can be frustrating as we use a lot and often both classes want to use them at the same time. Often have to change the timetable to accommodate.

# data[].attributes.body
We have an ICT Suite which is used by some classes but not all. We have 15 computers in our suite.

Disadvantages-

Computers are old and slow.

Children share computers- so unconfident children can sit back.

Advantages-

Keyboards and Mice- children find this easier.

# data[].attributes.body
We have 4 laptop trolleys throughout school with 30 laptops each. These are very old and take a long time to log on and the battery life isn't great either. They do need replacing.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a handful of donated laptops but these are mostly given to our PP children in order to access homework (mathletics/reading eggs/spelling).

We have 3 hp laptops dedicated for staff for leadership /ppa
