Staff & ICT

Each member of staff in school is given their own iPad. They use these during lessons to take assessment notes, provide visual aids for children, responding to and engaging in staff-to-staff communication and logging safety & behaviour concerns through our online safeguarding tool, 'CPOMS'.

CPOMS is a revolutionary software application for monitoring child protection, safeguarding and and a whole range of pastoral and welfare issues. Working alongside our school’s existing safeguarding processes, CPOMS is an intuitive system to help with the management of child protection, behavioural issues, bullying, special educational needs, domestic issues and much, much more.

We've equipped every classroom in school with one of these C-Touch multi-sensory screens, including a monstrous 80-inch model in our school hall. Superbly responsive, no shadow and all complete with its own motorised to adjust it's height accordingly.

Each classroom also has its very own Apple TV. This gives teachers the ability to 'mirror' any content from their iPads or other Apple equipment straight to their C-Touch screen. It's also an excellent tool for showing off and evaluating the work children on doing on their iPads.

We have worked very hard at North Ormesby to provide a depth of support for staff across the school and have an excellent monitoring system for evaluating and growing our practise. Part of this involved the use of Iris. Iris is an online platform and mobile camera system which allows us to record our lessons, reflect privately and share with colleagues.

We use an online tool called Perspective to help us self review confidently and accurately, create and maintain robust improvement plans, and quickly monitor performance and impact.

We use Evidence for Learning across school, an app that is used by more than 40000 teachers and child care providers in across more than 40 countries to support assessment, planning and management of the curriculum. This tool helps when making judgements on children's progress each half term.

We use Progresso as a central database for children's details and registration. We also use Progresso's ability to provide robust data tracking and SEND/vulnerable groups data which we update on a day-to-day basis.

The staff in every class use their iPads to take regular photos of the fun our children are having and then post the most exciting ones to our school Twitter and Facebook feeds.

Provision Map is a management information system designed specifically for SENCOs and includes every tool you need to succeed with SEND management. We use the tool to record all of our extra provision and it means we can track every penny spent and the evaluate the quality of our provision.
